I don't see matching capacity as stealing. I also don't see the form factor as stealing since the form factor is similar to the original Nanos which existed before the Zunes. If anything, Microsoft is the one who copied.

As for Microsoft stealing Apple's OS, the Mac OS didn't originate with Apple. They got it from Xerox who's Star system was out 3 years before Mac. What Apple did was adapt it to a platform that every one could use. The Star was huge and cost around $15K, if I remember correctly.
