Microsoft wrote the first version of OS/2. Beyond that they ditched it for
Windows. And I never said they stole it ILLEGALLY. Just that they took code
ideas that were not theirs and re-labeled it as theirs. THAT is what
Microsoft is famous for. You know Microsoft has not INVENTED _ANYTHING_.
ALL of their new technology ideas are taken from someone else.
