This is Bill Gates being smart as hell and reacting legalistically. He's savvy as hell.

I was just having a bit of fun there. You're right but that court came close to burning Microsoft for appropriating parts of the Apple OS—which Apple in turn had appropriated from Xerox-Park. It was a bad time for Apple, I think it was just before Steve Jobs was asked to come back after being booted from the company he and the other Steve had started. There was a time when Apple users on a network couldn't even print. It was when a Frenchman was CEO and Mac was using some abomination called Desktop Printing. I went out and bought a laser printer.

Xerox really shit the bed. And Gates with his magic MS-DOS deal. It's crazy the way things work out.

I think the MS-DOS deal was just to create a narrative. James Corbett addresses it in Who is Bill Gates: his mother had ties to IBM CEO John Opel. Here's a source on that.
