    DR GEM also looked like the Atari ST!

    Because the ST ran a custom version of GEM.

    Apple sues DR for Look and Feel of the GUI. Apple copies same GUI Design from Xerox. Microsoft avoid a Lawsuit because Windows 1.01 is Titled not Overlapping Windows. 2 years later Apple sues Microsoft over Windows 2.0 Overlapping Windows. Microsoft wins the Lawsuit. For GEM the damages was done due to Lawsuit. Tandy 2000 Beta Build of Windows have Trash feature on see GEM.

    Apple suing MicroSoft for look and feel of Windows was all part of a marketing strategy (I guess Apple felt they could throw money at lawyers for hopeless cases, and I guess that's not wrong at that particular time) If Apple did sue Digital Research it was just a sideshow. Jobs wasn't beyond leveraging the US legal system just to scare Windows adopters
