Vista is retarded. Mac is too commercial although the BSD and NeXststep origin as well as Darwin + Steve Wozniak deserve credit Linux ftw.
Vista is not a copy of Mac, but the whole Microsoft software is, including Vista of course. I remember my old kiddie mac with a Motorola 68000 processor displaying what eventually became Window 3.1 desktop Even old ataries were able to display that desktop with the same processor, of course all of that was very primitive if compared with Vista candy-eye.
My thoughts exactly! Anyway, why doesn't Apple sue Microsoft then? Is it because Microsoft has a large bite of the Apple?
Everybody stole Xerox' ideas. Then Bill Gates stola Apple's idea. Remember the two lines from Pirates of Silicon Valley? Steve: "You copied us! Our stuff is better than yours!" Bill: "You don't get it! That doesn't matter!" Props to the script writer
When you think about it Bill gates pretty much bought his way into OS power using other peoples ideas. He bought DOS and has been borrowing ideas from Steve Jobs since windows first appeared. Vista isn’t a copy of Mac OS, just a cluster of added on side thoughts. And the mac OS isn’t bad, it just distances you from the hardware more then I’d like.
Vista being a copy of that.. MAC being a copy of that.. Like the guy said, who cares. Someone does care indeed but that should definitely not be the end user as it may result from the endless online debates on forums, blogs etc. I never care about Bill when I buy his software (he doesn't care about me, does he ). All I need is features and usability. I never owned a mac computer, and probably won't in the near future. That being said, I never joined a win club of anti-mac boys & stuff, all cause I have nothing against one or another, it's the professional ground that sticks me to windows, that's all. And I'm certainly willing to try one of the "OS's features" on my win pc before I get my first mac I believe it should be left to Microsoft and Apple to solve this dispute if they ever start one officially. As far as I'm concerned, I keep using a software for as long as I am happy with the functionality that it provides, I care less if some other software company has copied it or whatever. If Microsoft loses a case in court over their Vista and users are forced to remove it from their computers, I'll be asking for a refund and I'm sure I will get it. No worry until then.
I agree, Mac rulez and is better then Windows. Vista is trying to be like Mac OS X 10.4 but now, Apple is coming with Leopard
