Apple didn't STEAL or TAKE *in the sense of 'steal'* MacOS from Xerox. 
It was a fair deal, you can't steal from a mutual agreement.  Every 
day, people go to pawn shops and purchase pounds of "worthless" spoons 
and forks to take them home and polish the tarnish off the silver. 
That 10 dollar set of "rusty" metal turns out to be a several thousand 
dollar set of silver-ware from the 20's.  Did they STEAL the silver 
ware?  No.

Microsoft fucking steals.  They steal everything, even creative minds 
as to implant the fucked up idea that "great programmers steal good
code" in the school books.  Fuck anyone that steals all their code,
they aren't programmers, they are two steps lower than those lamers that
claim they are programmers a.k.a Visual Basic "programmers".  If, from the
time you boot your computer to the time you "program" a fucking working
calculator and it runs, you have NOT touched your keyboard except to
enter a lame ass password.... that is NOT fucking programming.  Fuck that,
programmers are those that create, if you manipulate what others do thats
simply engineering.  But, Microsoft doesn't even do much engineering, how
fucking hard is it to replace the Apple logo with the Windows logo?

Godammnit!  What the fuck is that WindowsXP shit?  That is the most
foul, putrid dung ever!  But hey!  Atleast they made a LITTLE effort,
holy sweet baby fucking Jesus, was 95 such a blatant rip off.  Apple
breaks out with their bad selves MacOS X,  BAM!  Then here comes the
fucking dipshits, Billy and his crew tagging their all of a sudden
Windows X with a 'P' to make WindowsXP.  Oh, but MacOS X had NOTHING
to do with the design.... bullshit flag a hundred feet high!  Look at
XP, looks like MacOS X on fucking acid and smack.

<spins up some more>

Fuck Microsoft, and everyone that invests in them.  I don't give a
flying hoot if they disappear tomorrow!  I bet they are just as fucking
guilty as Enron and WorldCom.  I don't know ANYONE that has BOUGHT
a fucking Windows CD for their home computer.  Every Windows CD I've seen
the average Joe carrying is an obvious burn.  All the times I've been
in a computer store, Fry's, CompUSA etc. I've seen people carrying
Linux, MacOS X, I've seen them carrying WarCraft II and StarCraft up
to the registers.... I've NEVER seen some fool buying a 700 dollar
Microsoft Office.  Yet, every fool on the block has a copy of it.
You can find burned copies of Windows2000 Advanced Server in a dumpster
downtown... who knows.  Hell I got a copy didn't pay a fucking dime for
it!  In China for 20 dollars (US), you can have two grocery bags of
CDs; every fucking binary ever dripped from Microsoft!  In Russia software
piracy is so fucking bad, you can't get an original from a respectable
computer store!  Where, I say again WHERE is the tangible income they
are claiming or implied by their market stance?  All the money Billy
has, is probably ALL the money Microsoft ever actually made.  He took
that shit and ran!

Ok, I hate Microsoft and Apple didn't steal or "take" from Xerox.
