Suspicion confirmed.

It's ironic that MicroSoft's first Killer App WAS NOT it's operating
system - but rather Excel, running on a Mac and exploiting the
Apple GUI which MS then tried to copy with WinDoze, failed, kept
trying and is STILL trying to copy. At the moment they've gotten
all the way up to approximate Mac's OS 7 level (Apple is currently
up to Mac OS 10.5.2).


The Apple GUI is a copy of the PARC GUI. Been there, used it.
