Xerox didn't do it all by themselves. Listen to one of Alan's talks and he'll tell you about they stood on the shoulders of guys like Doug Engelbart and Ivan Sutherland. Xerox didn't invent the research atmosphere to facilitate giant leap innovations, they brought in people from DARPA/SRI who were already doing it. Don't get me wrong, Xerox deserves a lot of credit for making some huge contributions to that sphere, but we know they didn't do it all by themselves.
