   Please, this seems to have been beaten to death on this very bullitin board
in the last couple of weeks.  For the last time (laugh), much of Apple's
lawsuit is not so much look-and-feel.  Apple claims that Microsoft basically
used Apple's coding work to develop Windows.  Windows 1 didn't get sued because
the code there had been licensed to MS by Apple.  Apparently, and I haven't
been following too closely, Apple feels (and the courts agree so far) that MS
used Apple's unlicensed material in Windows 2.

Just trying to kill this before it comes back from the grave,

Jon
