I would think that you are most probably correct. Like IBM, and the
former Soviet Union, Microsoft likes to claim that it invented
something when in fact they probably just discovered it. Kind of like
Columbus discovering America a few thousand years after the Indians
did? I also was in the presence of an IBM executive who made the same
claim regarding virtual memory, when in fact IBM was probably the
last mainframe manufacturer to actually use it. So, I stand
corrected.
