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.

Microsoft doesnt copy and improve, they usually copy, and not very well... All of the products they have copied have been far below the quality of who they copied, they've only come out successful because they have tons of money to waste.
Microsofts business strategy is not to copy and improve, but to copy at a far lower price and monopolize the market.

1)Is that why SONY has lost more money this gen and continues to sell the PS3 at a loss or without a profit??
2) So basically what every successful company does?? MS FTW!!!
Another thing is that SONY copies too. PSN= XBL/2
I hope u are able to understand that equation

You got numbers Chief? Do you really think Microsoft is making any money on hardware either? We all know they dug themselves deep into the red already regarding hardward malfunctions, and they too sold (and are most likely still selling) hardware at a loss. Perhaps if you came out of your fanboy shell you'd see that.
I never said it was a bad thing to copy, I just said Microsoft sucks and at it.
