hm... i'm not going to say that that's incorrect because i don't know for
sure, but i've never heard this before... i suppose it's possible.

I will say...it is not correct. The whole reason Bill invested $100 Mil was
to have access to the source for MacOS. And Win2K is the first Windows to
have Mac code in it. Yes, he was attempting to copy Mac, but he could not
get it...the code was missing.
Also, all you M$ bashers for OS/2....did not M$ have the right to kill OS/2,
since they WROTE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, under agreement from IBM?
