Sigh...Sigh... You didn't explained how Apple legally infringed on Xerox. If an 
author writes a story about a boy wizard, where is the line drawn for the next 
author?  Several years after Apple shipped the Lisa, Xerox thought Apple might 
win a lawsuit against Microsoft so they tried to get in the game.  I'm not 
aware of Xerox calling Apple after the Lisa shipped and telling them that they 
ripped off their products. I think Steve was pretty quick in claiming that 
Microsoft ripped him off.
