That's always a problem despite the best intentions to do a clean room 
implementation. Like they say you can't unsee it. Even something like an 
embedded RTOS is going to look a lot like somebody else's. 

I'm surprised there aren't more conflicts in fiction and music like the 
Google and Oracle suit that made it to the Supremes. Of course most 
authors and musicians don't have huge legal departments and deep pockets.

It did take a while for NT to get ironed out. I can't remember the last 
time I saw the BSoD but it was a frequent flyer on my 4.0 box.
