Miscrosoft OS and software, was built-upon, and adapted from, already existing Apple concepts. Bill Gates did take them to another level, and did a lifetime of great work on toppa it -- but still, Apple originated it.

they changed the whole world, Bill Gates included - Not to take away from his own work and success, but it's <span style="font-style: italic">their </span>innovations that made all of it possible for him to even<span style="font-style: italic"> have</span> his hugely successful career in the first place. there are still people in the industry who consider him to be not much more than a successful wannabe, a johnny-come-lately who capitalized on others' ideas and inventions. </div></div>
While some PC lovers will deny this to the bitter end it is absolutely true. The concept of how any of us a computer, regardless if it's a PC or Mac belongs to Jobs.
