That was actually stolen from Xerox from the Xerox PARC location (Palo Alto Research Center). They were the first to work on a graphical user interface. The Mac OS came from their work also..
Jobs (Apple), started working on the original MAC/LISA GUI after he saw a demo of the Xerox "Star" at PARC.
Jobs, being the "Supreme Asshole Of The Universe", invited Gates to see a demo of the early mac System/Finder, and Gates just created a facsimile piece of Shite that would run on early x86, and...
VIOLA!!!
Windows 1.0 was born. (Jobs was fucking PISSED, but it was over by then, basically)
Apple sued MS, but Gates argued that if Apple could copy Xerox, so could MS, so a settlement was reached.
Since Gates/MS could license their shite to anyone, (the worst deal IBM EVER made, letting Gates have a non-exclusive deal, so he could sell "DOS" to anyone he wanted) DOS clones started POURING into the US from the Far East at cut-rate prices.
These years would forever be known as the"Clone Wars"...
We should make a bingo card of all the crimes that Gates is going to be publicly accused of!
Pizza Parties, Adrenochrome, Child Trafficking, etc.
You can add stealing tech from IBM to this list. That's how Windows was created
Microsoft's profits should go to tax payers

Gates didn’t do this alone, he had help.. lots of it. Groomed.
He was basically the Zuckerbert of that era.
Gates Sr is a very powerful man.
Very nice explaining
