The business section of the New York Times today (Friday, 12/15) has an article saying that Xerox is initiating a lawsuit against Apple for the "look and feel" of the Macintosh and Lisa operating system. Any "insiders" comments on motivations for Xerox to do this now? Any hints that HP and/or Microsoft (IBM?) might have a hand in this? What's the mood at Apple over this, and what changes might it bring? Bill Tsang Univ of Chicago GSB CA_BT@gsbacd.uchicago.edu

It's high time. I like my mac+, but 'look and feel' is a crock - Apple invented little of it. Max

Look and feel is a crock, you say, but you think it's "high time" that another look and feel lawsuit was filed. Great.
