I'm sorry, but I have to correct Rene... "great improvement on its
successors" is the correct usage of the word "its". The rule is as
follows:
It's versus Its.
There's no shortcut; all you can do is memorize the rule. It's with an
apostrophe means it is (or, a little less often and a little less
formally,
it has); its without an apostrophe means belonging to it. An analogue
might
provide a mnemonic: think of "he's" ("he is" gets an apostrophe) and "his"
("belonging to him" doesn't).
What about its', with the apostrophe after the s? - Never, never, never.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Not in this language, you don't. Its, "belonging to
it"; it's, it is. That's all. [Revised 8 June 2001.] see:

Scott... you were right the first time. Same goes for "But in it's
original
form". It should be "But in its original form".
Gary.
