I wonder if one day we'll know of all the stories of people who got wined-dined-fucked by the large corporations who then release their own version of an existing product.

I doubt it. I've hinted at in comments here in the past, but I have one such story. It's a footnote, at best, in MS's history, and a thing for a now-dead product, but they turned what I thought was a cool product into their own thing then disappeared it through internal MS politics.

I don't tell the story in any details since I don't want those details getting back to the real me and having a negative impact on my career for whatever reason.

How could a gigantic corporation stealing your idea be seen as negative?

The word “stealing” is a big hint
