I've been thinking, How is it; that virtually all operating systems consist of the same concept. You have folders, files within folders, windows, window panes, boxes to close, maximise and minimise, address bars.
Get my point....well at no point are any of these systems unique. Surely it wasn't impossible to engineer a unique solution. Apple setup the initial framework, and Amiga followed with their workbench. But why was the concept allowed to be copied
So why was all of this allowed, have I missed something?
And that leads me onto the next part; the future. So what happens when someone develops a 3D user interface where users can physically grab the files and folders, and open them with actions. The concept has already been envisioned, someone needs to implement it into the market. So where is this going to be copyrighted?
Another problem I see, is with Smart phones. You can't just go and replicate Apples enable phone feature, but yet you can replicate the close/min/max feature on windows. I don't understand.
