yeah and even the people who did used languages that were already invented and copied many ideas from cpm and ran it on processors made by a company who didn't even invent silicon but used molecules that came from a star that wasn't even a first generation star but was made from recycled material from several generations of stars, but even all of THAT doesn't seem quite as old as this "wasn't invented there" slashdot mantra. Yes it wasn't Microsoft that wrote the code, because Microsoft is a business entity. Software is written by people. Can we all get over that yet?
