"Not quite right, Bill " Now why X-Ray would you say that ?

Was it because " Bill Jackson "opened with:

" I recall an old Xerox PC machine machine I bought "

then after disparaging AAPL , Bill establishes his credentials with :

" Xerox marketing could not give free food to starving people".

Remarkable !

X-Ray your version of the AAPL v MSFT lawsuit is closer to what I recall reading.

X-ray man, it was complicated as MSFT also had a licence from Xerox, but it was long ago, far far away ....
However it was the impetus for Apple to try and get proprietary that signalled the beginning of the end for Apple. From that point the decline started.
Apple clearly had no rights to xerox tech that any other company could not also get. No exclusive rights.
