It's real simple. Back in the early 90's Bill Gates dad, a lawyer, with the help of his government buddies created a 'legal' process. Back then Microsoft would express interest in a product to the inventor or company that creates it. They would invite the creator to visit Microsoft and to bring the specs of their product which Microsoft was interested in buying. When the creator went they would have a pleasant experience. Microsoft would tell the creator to leave their specs and that they would receive an offer for their work in the near future. A couple of weeks later the creator would receive a rude phone call from someone at Microsoft telling them their product was not mature enough. That is was not "commercial grade" quality. Everyone was told the same thing. Their product was not commercial grade. Then Microsoft would mail the specs back to the creator. During the two weeks after microsoft obtained the product specs they would give the specs to an attorney. The attorney would give the specs to a technical person and ask them to make a copy of the specs with the wording changed. Then both sets of identical specs with different wording were returned to the attorney. The attorney would then take the new specs with different wording and give them to a programmer and tell them to write the software described in the specs. Software would be created that accomplished the same thing as that of its original creator with different variable names and code executed using a different approach. And that is how microsoft stole most of what runs in windows and the internet. Some people tried to sue. There was even a news television show that showed every step of the 'legal' process Bill Gates' dad created with the help of his government buddies. I have had my work stolen by microsoft in more than one way. I am the inventor of patent 7,987,168 which is the process that taught browsers and apps how to talk directly to web sites without having to type queries or whatever in the site's web page. You use my invention on your phone, tablet, and computer on all operating systems and browsers. Jeffrey Richter of Wintellect, a microsoft consultant back in 2006, mentored me to get my patent application before I told him anything about my idea. Jeff said he was going to help me market my idea to microsoft. When he saw screen shots of inTriever his eyes almost came out of his head. Our professional and personal relationship ended by his doing and seven months later I saw a new input box over to the right of the w
