<Micrsoft invented the "taskbar" in Win95>

I'm not too sure if this is the fact. I used Chameleon few years back and they already have task-bars then. In Window 3.1, 70% of people didn't know how to use Alt-tab to switch between windows, so Microsoft "invented" task-bar - most probably by copying somebody else idea.

Now they are COPYING PalmPilot tradmark by calling theirs Palm PC ! How outrageous ! That's an outright infringment of trademark - especially perpetrated by a monopoly like Microsoft. Gate is really shameless, taking consumers for fools - got rich too young could be the reason.
