Default Re: Why a Reboot?

Yes, but Apple stole it first.

Pardon my hijack, but the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center is an amazing story. They invented the GUI, ethernet networking and the laser printer. How many of these products did Xerox bring to market? None. Not even the laser printer, which was based on copier technology invented by Xerox. An amazing bit of corporate stupidity. They funded R&D, got great results, and failed to do anything with it. Other companies made billions off of stuff they invented.
