And that would pretty much kill one of the major features of windows: backwards compatability.

Well, that says more about those other apps than windows now doesn't it?

He's right, Xerox built the first modern mouse, they just never released it. Apple bought it from Xerox, Microsoft pirated it from Apple.

Not really. Xerox didn't invent it (but they did sell systems with them, just not very successful ones) and several companies sold workstations with them before apple picked it up. That microsoft should have stolen any of the design elements in early windows from apple is impossible to say. Both companies were heavily "inspired" by star. (Or go ahead and say that microsoft stole it. In that case so did apple and the point is moot.)
