Typical M$ “innovation”.
Forget Windows 7. Windows stole the look and feel of the Mac in the first place.
They spent years and millions on court fights and the courts said that it was OK for Bill Gates to copy Steve Jobs’ homework.
Why stop now?
The entire point of Windows was to make a PC more like a Mac.
This one will run just fine, with none of the problems of Vista... trust us!
Let us not forget Xerox.
One thing nice about open source is you can “borrow stuff” all you want and not get dinged for it...hehehe
I hope they didn’t steel too much from Apple. I have a Mac, if I want to use a Mac interface I’ll use a real Mac. My preference is the XP interface, I turned off the Mac like features on Vista, If I can’t turn that stuff off on Win 7, I may hold off on buying a new computer.
Im a Mac owner, and use Microsoft at work. I dont care about the formatting, and it isnt a Cowboys/Redskins thing for me.
Btw, I hate the Mac TV commercials. They never talk positively about their products. ITs just make fun of MS for 30 seconds everytime. And that is supposed to make you buy a Mac?
I guess it crashes too much to get the "and feel" part, huh?
(Just a little joke to avoid going into the claims of Steve Jobs' ripoff of Xerox, or Bill Gates' ripoff (via Tim Paterson) of Gary Kildall.)
The strong impression I drew 13 years ago was that Microsoft programmers were untrained, undisciplined, and content merely to replicate other people’s ideas, and that they did not seem to appreciate the importance of defining operating systems and user interfaces with an eye to the future.Have times changed? And what is "the importance," if imitation makes you rich and innovation leads to obscurity?--John Wharton, October 1984
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
Every programmer takes the knowledge that is currently in use and tries to improve upon it. It would be stupid to do otherwise.
