seen it, it's old news.
now in answer to zombie648326345:
you have a fucking nerve, mormon. You are the one who fails to answer questions time after time. It's rich to see you accusing somebody else of it, and as for your blowharding about 'everybody stole the GUI from Xerox', as it happens, Xerox PARC was research only. Xerox set it up so they could get the jump on the paperless office if it ever happened. It didn't happen so Xerox did not market any of their groundbreaking stuff. They were the first to come up with 2.56Mbps ethernet but they chose to spend another six years developing 10Mbps ethernet because they reckoned that that would be what people were using in 2000 (this in the mid seventies!) They didn't market the alto, an office microcomputer, they didn't market anything with a GUI, although they did come up with the concept of bitmapping as standard out. also, operating systems, machines, everything that Xerox developed, that was supposedly copied by somebody else was developed from (or almost from) scratch by whoever 'stole' the idea.
I don't think patenting should be allowed for software. Copyrighting of course, patenting no. The GUI cannot be copyrighted and should not be patented. Somebody's unique take on the GUI can be copyrighted though, and that's how it should be.
Also, windows' GUI is a direct copy of MacOS' GUI. the two projects have forked a bit over the years but when Apple and M$ made their deal (that M$ broke) Gates and Allen actually left the final deal carrying some Apple machines away with them for dissection and analysis. Also, you conveniently forget that the 'windows 95 taskbar' which is the only part of the windows GUI i cannot see in MacOS, was present in RiscOS in 1988! so suck it, dumbass.
why must i cover this ground over and over for you, zombie? can't you read? can't you type the word 'google' into your address bar like everybody else? WHY??????
as i said before, shut up when you talk to me.
