The business section of the New York Times today (Friday, 12/15) has
an article saying that Xerox is initiating a lawsuit against Apple
for the "look and feel" of the Macintosh and Lisa operating system.

Any "insiders" comments on motivations for Xerox to do this now?
Any hints that HP and/or Microsoft (IBM?) might have a hand in this?
What's the mood at Apple over this, and what changes might it bring?
