I would think that you are most probably correct. Like IBM, and the 
former Soviet Union, Microsoft likes to claim that it invented 
something when in fact they probably just discovered it. Kind of like 
Columbus discovering America a few thousand years after the Indians 
did? I also was in the presence of an IBM executive who made the same 
claim regarding virtual memory, when in fact IBM was probably the 
last mainframe manufacturer to actually use it. So, I stand 
corrected.
