Dean, it's not theft of functionality. In the OS/2 divorce, both sides
obtained some rights to the source code of the other. IBM got source for
Win3.1 (which they used to provide OS/2 users with the Windows support Bill
Gates had promised when he was pitching the product). No doubt Microsoft
got the code used to provide Windows 3.1 support.
