It would be interesting to see a list of what exactly has been stolen
from
Microsoft...
As far as I know, both Apple and Microsoft stole their user interfaces
from
the same source. Was it Xerox?
However, this link <http://www.mackido.com/Interface/ui_history.html> is
interesting.

Good point. I overstated my case a bit! I still think that Microsoft
is an immoral organization, but there's nothing immoral about doing
what you have to do - using what you have to use, when there is no
choice. Let's work towards protecting the choice of OpenOffice
though, which is a viable (better in my opinion) option to MS-Word for
nearly all situations.
