	[the following is based on the Infoworld article accompanying
	the pictures of NewWave and the like... Check it out for the full
	story]

1) Microsoft helped apple invent the apple windowing system, including
	such concepts as "Zooming", Menu bars, and Icon dragging and etc.
	According to the Microsoft CEO "There were more Microsoft
	programmers working on the thing than ther were apple programmers"

2) Microsoft HAS a licence agreement which covers the Machontosh stuff
	along with A hell of a lot else.


	Check out the article, It's amazing.  Makes Apple sound like they
are having a real personal problem.
