BTW, folks, it's not some bunch of idealistic "open systems" folks at Xerox who are behind all this, attacking the "evil corporate giant" Apple. Nope. According to today's New York Times, "Both former and current Xerox executives said the company's decision to sue Apple can be attributed almost entirely to the arrival of William C. Lowe, a former executive of IBM, who joined Xerox last year." So, as I see it, it's one company attacking another, not some epic battle between good guys and bad guys. (There's nothing wrong with the guy coming from IBM; I just mean to imply that this is a business decision in all likelihood, not some altruistic crusade). BTW, I'm rooting for Apple, it if makes any difference.
