[QUOTE="jc1350, post: 425982, member: 18867"] You have some of your...uh..."facts" wrong. In 1985 when Steve Jobs was "released" from Apple, he started NeXT, a computer company that built NEXTSTEP - an object-oriented OS built from BSD UNIX. During the years after that Apple struggled to produce a new/working OS (they didn't simply want to update System 9). When Jobs returned to Apple, he got them to buy NeXT and Apple used that OS as the base for Mac OS X. None of this has any thing to do with Linux. I love Linux in the corporate world, but for home use it's still not ready. There are far too many devices not supported in Linux (and I blame the device makers for not providing drivers). As far as "stealing" - all the Linux/UNIX systems have their roots in AT&T's UNIX from the 1960s, so they are all "guilty of stealing" as you might say. [/QUOTE]
