Apple this week delivered to developers Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard build 9A303, the latest in an extremely limited series of pre-release builds of its next-generation operating system. People familiar with the new distribution of the software, labeled Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard build 9A303, say one of its primary objectives of the release is to knock out several 'performance related bugs' that were present in 9A283.

Well, Windows got Instant Desktop Search years before OS X did. Turned off by default, and difficult to use for newbies, but none the less it's been around since NT4.
Apple copied a lot, too. Take a look at the history of mankind and you'll see this: Every innovation is based on an earlier innovation.
BTW: OS X isn't Unix either. It's posix-compatible, but it is _not_ Unix.

"It took them ten years and millions of dollars to realise that they couldn't build an OS, and so they went out and bought one."
Criticize Apple if you want; the fact is, MSFT has done nothing substantive since copying the Mac in 1985. Even Vista still isn't UNIX. At least Apple, when they ran into trouble, called in some help.
