Wow, just wow. Please read up on Xerox PARC and the history of windowing GUIs.

You really can't say "Wow, just wow." to a non-well known fact.

Please, if you don't at least perform a cursory fact checking before posting stuff like this you WILL get called out. Especially in places like this.

Even your amended comment of stripping the windows out of it shrills out, 'OH MY GOD I'M AN IDIOT!" like some poor misguided scrag seeking out attention, when everybody here knows that's my job.

Frankly, I just don't care. I'm not a forum diehard. I don't have hard facts, but that doesn't really matter to me on a Maemo forum, maybe in a college English class though. As far as I'm concerned, Apple wasn't a major competitor until recent years, meaning Microsoft was making the big bucks - there's a reason Windows is the largest consumer-level OS on the planet. And I don't take that 1984 commercial too seriously, maybe when it comes to Google in the next couple of years, but not Microsoft.

Except this is still false, as Windows appeared for the first time in 1985 while the Mac was out in 1984. And this was AFTER the failed run with the Lisa.
The mainstream pretty much ignored ms windows until version 3.0
