Apple as we know it also stole some of its founding ideas from Xerox. Xerox even sued Apple for that while they were busy suing Microsoft for stealing something they stole from Xerox. Ironic.
Video 1: Steve Jobs describes sweetly how he stole from Xerox
Video 2: A demo of Xerox Interface that was demoed to Apple team
Video 3: Steve Jobs about Microsoft stealing their Ideas
Finally its neither Apple nor Microsoft that lost the opportunity but its Xerox who could never make a dime in the PC industry.

Its sad that Xerox could not be successful after having such a great idea. Steve job stole idea from xerox and MS stole idea(s) from Steve and MS is still the leader in desktop and servers. Although they are 3 years beyond Apple in moble technology and couple of backwards in notebook software.

Microsoft's dominance in Server market is debatable today. Yet the point here is that, even innovators need inspiration and most inventions are a recombination of ideas some borrowed some conceived.

I agree that the dominance in server market was reduced. MS is totally confused where it need to focus. It could not get the results it expected from the mobile and search market. It need to revamp its R&D department which has became old fashioned. Xbox is an exception, only successful new product
