Is Stevie Boy having a laugh?

For Microsoft, of all people, to accuse somebody else of cloning existing software goes way beyond the dog calling the cat furry!!!

MS-DOS was a clone of CP/M
Internet Explorer was a clone of NCSA Mosaic
Windows was a clone of Apple Mac/Xerox PARC's work

It's an old game, but it's a good one: ask a Microsoft evangelist to name a genuine technical innovation from Microsoft; i.e. an original idea that Microsoft thought up all by themselves!

There isn't anything significant!
