First: Jobs is making fun about what we all know. MS has always
looked to Apple and other creative software companies for their
'innovations". MS does this quite shamelessly.

Second: This is might actually be a good thing because while
they could have gone off in their own direction, by making a
product that is recognizable to most of us, it's easier for us to
move back a forth between operating systems.

I can see why Jobs makes jokes about. How would you feel if
your company was doing all the work and MS just copies it.
However, I can see how all that backward engineering would
cause a lot of delays.

But there is something to laugh about here even though this
practice has force some of the smaller innovators of of business.
