I think it underlines many of the ideas aren't as new and innovative some fanboys think they are.
PR and marketing have a major effect on people's views, for example just a few days ago an OSNews editor (I wrote articles there as well, he plans to do a review soon) tried a new updated browser (Origyn) for AmigaOS4.x and said: "Awesome, tabbed browsing on Amiga!". Not knowing tabbed browsing started on the Amiga (IBrowse) before Opera implemented this feature.
He's a tech nut like me, so ordinary people are even less likely to distinguish the innovative ideas vs great copy-cat marketeers (that would refer especially to Microsoft).
