My comments were not directed at Windows alone, but Microsoft's ethics as a business. In response to longhorns's post, which would still be here if he chose his language more carefully. He states Apple "stole" the idea for Windows first, and didn't give credit to anyone. Which is false.
If he knew anything about the history of Apple, he would know that Steve Jobs openly acknowledges that Xerox was the original creator of a windows/mouse based operating system, and that he came across it while on a tour of a Xerox facility. He simply wanted to bring it to the masses and thus the Macintosh was born.
And again, this is getting off topic as this thread should be concentrating on kurosagi's achievement.
