Sorry if it seemed like flaming. It just really irritates me that Apple has the arrogance to do such a thing when 98% of the market isn't their's. The thing that made me angry was that they basicly were implying that Aero is an Aqua clone. If I see an OS X Tiger desktop with a finder window open and a Windows Vista Beta 2 desktop with an explorer window open, I see no barely any similarities. "They copied our Spotlight" I don't think the Start Menu finder is "copying" Spotlight. It was in the start menu in the first place as a button. So why not make it more convenient and put it as a separate search bar? It seems like an upgrade. Microsoft didn't just see Spotlight and copy it. "They copied our RSS" Wait, what? RSS was out before Safari. You guys(Apple) act like you invented RSS. "They copied our Apple Mail" Look Apple, you didn't come up with the e-mail. Having another mail program doesn't mean Microsoft turned your precious Apple Mail into a Win32 Application. "They copied our iCal." Oh, now you're saying you invented the calender too? Just because a program has a calender and text in the date boxes doesn't mean it's a clone. "They even put a Aqua bubble around there logo" Oh for crying out loud Apple. That's just silly. The Vista logo looks fine, it works fine, and you just want to point it out to make us PC users feel like we're missing out. Things about Vista that have potential -Flip 3D - This is a replacement for the Win + Tab command. It adds a nice little flipping animation to it. -Glass effect - This just looks cool. I can't wait to mess around with this. -IE7 - It has tabs! Thank goodness! This runs faster and with less RAM usage(it's still in beta) than firefox. -Windows Media Player 11 - Okay, they sorta copied off of Quicktime. As you can see the big "Play/Pause" button in the middle sorrounded by the fast forward and rewind buttons. Also, Apple "copied" Suse Linux. That spaces thing is something I would use over 5 years ago. It's four desktops and each has it's own apps on it. Apple has done a good job with the animations and innovating with the dock though.

Alright, I was actually really excited for Mac OS X Leopard. I watched the WWDC conference however I was disgusted. Steve Jobs, and the people talking that day were being so childish. They kept bashing Vista, while Vista has GLASS. Glass IMO looks a hell of a lot cooler than Aqua. Steve Jobs would "stfu" about Vista and how "Microsoft copied Tiger!" "They stole RSS!" "They stole email!" "They stole the idea of a calender program!" What in the name of God is wrong with you people. Paul Thurrott's opinion I completely agree with this guy 100% he's got it right on. Congratulations Apple, you've finally taken up 2% of the market! (sorry if that looks like flaming on my first post. )
