Same with many other Open Source programs and compeditors like Mac.

Ohhh, hold back on those "it's easier" "better for graphics!" "OMG it's sooo cute!" bullshit statements. That's oppinion and not a basis for fact.

Yet so many apple fanboys are so quick to jump and say that MS is stealing from apple yet are too stupid and close minded to look back beyond apple and see they didn't originate the idea.
marshy, of course people get ideas for everything around them.. where else are they going to get it? you act as if apple takes a shit, and lo and behold! there's leopard floating in the toilet!!! and as far as "many of the ideas were taken from OSX", that's your opinion, and imo, that's flat-out nonsense.
