Microsoft were wise enough to name their operating system in a way that makes
them seem like inventors whose work is copied. Just describing this paradigm
would involve uttering the word 'windows'.

My younger brother told me last week that if Linux has a window/frame
interface, then it has probably copied from Microsoft. Many people would
actually believe that Internet Explorer was the seminal piece of work on the
Web (the browser is titled "Internet"), so busting of these myths is a task
that should not be taken for granted.
