}IMHO, I would like to see Apple get roasted by this lawsuit...

The way I see it, Apple can't win.  If Xerox wins, they're out big bucks
and lose the copyrights to their interface.  If Xerox loses, the legal
concept of a "look and feel" copyright is seriously weakened, if not
outright invalidated, and Apple will have a h*ll of a time suing anyone
else.

About time, too.
