Microsoft has always copied a lot from Apple, it's been a running joke since the early 1990s.
What I really hate is that pretty much every tech company sees Apple as "the cool kid" and desperately tries to emulate it, failing to understand what makes Apple Apple (snob attitude towards everyone, overpriced shit, tyrannical grip on its ecosystem, marketing everything as luxury) and how it achieved success (by stealing and copying ideas from others, focusing on UX (mostly, but not always))
"Yeah fuck xerox." (Apple probably)
Well, Steve did tell them they have a gold mine with the mouse thing and other innovative solutions they had going... they didn't listen 🤷... a bunch of hippies doing weird things according to management, a waste of time and resources. Oh well, we're just gonna take your ideas, thank you very much 🤷.
