"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984

actually, Unix. Most of the msWindows ip plumbing came from Unix. iirc, somehow Sun ended up with the patent rights and all these things were included in the Sun-Microsoft crosspatent and cash settlements (aside from the java mess that happened a few years later).
