And, btw2, which details of Mac System were already in the original Xerox OS
and what did Apple invent themselves?
From Steven Levy's book,
Overlapping windows...
One of the mac programmers saw an overlapping windows at
the XParc day, and wondered how they did it. The Xerox programmers
didnt figure out how, they just faked it.
Andy Hertzfeld, figured it out, and made that the basis for quick draw.
( Then implimented it on the Lisa...)
Also Overlapping Windows was the basis for the Apple Lawsuit
with microsoft for windows 2.0
