True but remember that Apple is a clone from Xerox!

Dock?

And the Dock is a clone of the taskbar? The dock is nicer, but the taskbar is 8 years old.

I think the dock is a clone of something much older. I'm sure graphical unix systems had their little "dock" before MS put in their own.

that is true zealotism.

plain facts that are indicative of a little copying, but no IT CANNOT BE TRUE. 😛

(because we all know apple has never done anything unethical)

I use macs and pc's daily and it upsets me deeply to read these boards and here such blatant disregard.

 

[daedelgt]

I use both too, but who really did come up with the taskbar/dock first? I know it wasn't Apple, and I doubt it was MS.

Actually Apple took the concept of the GUI(a Xerox) Original idea and develop the Mac around the concept. Xerox did not see any merit in the GUI. Apple then gave Xerox stock in the company for the idea they used.
