This makes me curse Apple for suing Microsoft way back when. Otherwise everything would be in the right place on both machines. History is funny.

So are you saying that if someone develops a Frontier clone, with windows that look the same, menu commands the look and work the same, you wouldn't sue that person because there's future value in having a single user interface?

Maybe there's hope yet for seeing Frontier on Linux

Finally, some straight information about the Xerox PARC/Apple UI/Microsoft Windows fiasco from the 1980s. [via Peterme]

Very good reading. Highly recommended.
