The really stupid stuff, was that multitasking stuff was stolen not from Xerox, like claimed, but from a little project called MIT X11. They even stole the window corner style from there.
Strangely, you can't simply recompile old Windows programs for Windows XP, but you can get an old *ix/X11 program, and grab compatibility libs, and hard compile a binary in minutes.
