Microsoft has freely givin the specs to FAT since its incarnation -- just look in ANY old DOS reference this (i belive) entitles anyone to use it royalty free
also who started the lie that MS stole GUI from Apple?
the truth is windows was under develoopment long before MAC came out and Gates visited PARC around the same time Jobs did -- and i think(not sure) he PAID for the write to use the tech developed there(a stock exchange if i remember correctly) includeing the mouse and GUI
Apples first try however (and the only public GUI in existancee when windows was announced) was a massive failure!! (remember Lisa?)
