Again your completely misunderstanding...no one stole any code..the code was open source..not stolen...whats happening is license incompatibility..aka the GPL was not compatible with the Apache open source license..they are BOTH open source...its just a matter of license compatibility...
Unix and Linux are open source..they are original in their own sense of having the entire world developing them..using them as a core is not a bad thing..an no one cares about "originality"..what we care about is things working properly..if a wheel works..why try to reinvent it? sure you can if you want to..but its not fair to blame others for using a wheel :/
um..IE9 is a big step up..but in no way is it blowing the other browsers out of the water..each one has their strength..for one Chrome is only browser that has came out unhackable...for now...and FireFox 4 is already on Android and Maemo which is on par with IE9 which still isn't out for mobile..

what code did MS use that wasnt entirely theirs? i would like to have a source for that and even so its still more original than OS X,linux,android and iOS will ever be. i tried the new versions of chrome and it still would lock up on my 1gb RAM box more than IE9 would and firefox locked up on me more than them both combined, IE9 is set to go final this month so we shall see where it stands then and i wouldnt be surpriesed if IE9M came out in the may-july timeframe, it will surely blow the default android and iOS browsers out of the water.
