I think some of us are missing the point here: all of the features of both NXT and Ripple are open-source concepts, anyone can implement them and in many cases it's kind of difficult to figure out who originally came up with a particular concept. So to say that x is copying y is a fairly pointless game, like saying that Ford are copying Nissan by putting wheels on their cars......

NXT is revolutionary not because of any specific feature set, but because NXT has been designed from the ground up to be a platform for other applications, not just a currency.
This means that if you can come up with a concept, you can probably figure out a way to implement it on NXT.
 
Just take a quick look at the list of projects that NXT is already supporting:
https://nxtforum.org/nxt-projects/

And we haven't even got on to the features list/road-map yet....

As correctly predicted just before it started happening here, I have the feeling that NXT is about to implode... But it might be just me.

[edit] finally found the link.

As I was browsing bitcointalk I came across the above link.  I wonder if perhaps NXT is trying to change their salespitch ?   It is even pre-excusing their claims.

Has anyone seen the original dev talk about the corporation metaphor previously ?  It was news to me !
