alt Hacker NewsI think you meant a quote attributed to Bill Gates:
"Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

I don't know if that's a real quote from Gates, but I do know it was in Pirates of Silicon Valley.

I thought Xerox demoed something they haven’t implemented yet, and Apple turned a mockup into a real GUI.

Yes, I think the Gates quote was a response to repeated and aggressive complaints originating from Jobs (to anyone who would listen) that he had been ripped off.
