Xerox alto was bought for use with stock since xerox could not launch it, they were barred against it legally. nextstep was a baby project of jobs, so i could say it was apples all along, after all what is apple without jobs? (also i want a classic next step computer ) |
Just pointing out that copying and improving a product has a long and successful history. MS doing it, in that they made a pretty standard console by the standard of anything past the SNES, is not some sort of unprecedented move.
Off Topic: Beautiful machines the NeXT boxes. They would not be all that impressive today but they made Win3.1 look truely primitive by comparison. If you get one buy the color version.
