Why start with what it cost to develop Windows? As far as I can see there are very few original ideas in Windows in terms of the GUI. If there is one OS that Windows was inspired by then it was surely MacOS! So, if you want to get closer to the billion dollars - add Apple's development costs to the date that Windows 3.0 was developed. Or would that take you over a billion? Feedback on my figures would be appreciated.
I would hate to sound like an advocate of MacOS - but I believe it should be respected and left on the shelf for Microsoft to poach, whereas Linux should be revered for what it stands for.
