great way to start a flame-war.
so you don't know who started with an onscreen desktop ?
well..that was Apple ( Macintosh i presume.... ).
btw. : using the keyboard rather then the mouse is very good to prevent RSI.
and " user friendly " doesn't mean in any way " newbie friendly ".
( just like two side-wheels on a bike are very good for starters but not for bikers ...... )

And Microsoft took the mouse interface from Xerox and the gui from Apple. MS didnt invent those either. But its not appropriate to say Linux developers stole anything. If thats the case then MS owes everything it has to Xerox and Apple. MS didnt steal anything and Linux developers didnt steal anything, They just took something and made it better respectively.
hey u guys were talikin about linux copycatting windows, well, if you think open office (great program) is a copycat of msoffice, it dont really matter, cuz msoffice is a direct copycat of wordperfect.
