This is historically funny though, considering the GUI look and feel lawsuit Apple started with Microsoft even though their GUI was a clone of the Xerox one.
Running into the same wall repeatedly has usually not been considered a sign of excellent business practices..

Not just that but to me forcing Microsoft to label the trash bin a recycle bin to avoid Apples lawyers speaks volumes.

Don't forget the "drag the disk to the trash to eject it" lunacy! That's "innovation" that nobody else was crazy enough to imitate, thankfully.

Oddly, the recycling bin is a rare case of Microsoft improving on Apple's metaphor. The space used by a deleted file really is recycled into available space for new files, not just thrown away.
