yes but that is not what you were saying, stuff shoved away in a special help menu is not the same as "totally copy the leading product in the market".

Excel was not a total copy of anything in the Mac market when it was released, or any of the other fledgling GUI based OS options available at the time. It was sufficiently better than anything out there at the time to drive it into places that a Mac would not have had a look into before e.g, Global accounting firms et al.
