its true that new OS' jsut take ideas from other people, look at apple, the new mac 10.3 has switching users, a windows xp feature. as soon as i saw that, i knew where they got it, but my pretty stupid friends believes mac thought of it themself. now mac has this thing called expose, which im sure will soon be implememted into the new versions of windows. all they really do is copy ideas back and forth, and some times sue eachother in the process. its a flaw in developement. there should be more time spent thinking of new useful stuff, and less on looking at what other systems have that they an put in. im waiting for mac to implement a blue screen of death
