I find utterly amazing the fact that apple is still suing Microsoft over Windows
2.0 and implictly 3.0 over stealing certain aspects of "their" (like Xerox didn't invent it) user interface when system 7.0 is coming out with the improvements
that are basically lifted from NeXTstep, Motif, Sun's Openwindows, and yes even
Windows 3.0 and OS/2.

It seems to me that is exceedingly hypocritical and legally intolerable.
