Xerox did sue Apple for the infringement, though. The president of Xerox at the time said he didn’t mind that Apple took the GUI idea and ran with it. He also said that the Xerox shareholders should be rightfully enraged if he didn’t seek redress for the transgression. He felt boxed in by the circumstances, and believed he should be fired for not suing Apple.

Gates once responded to Steve Jobs’ complaint that MS stole from Apple by saying “Well, Steve, I think there’s more than one way of looking at it. I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.” 😃

How much are you driving the car? Are you hanging the key fob in close proximity to the car?
