Apple website Apple Gazette is ~~reporting~~ rumouring that Leopard will come with an all-new interface, supposedly with lots of black glossy things (similar to Vista, indeed): "Apple Gazette has received a tip from an apple insider that the Mac OS Aqua User Interface will be replaced with a new UI named Illuminous. The source goes on to say that we will see a demonstration of Illuminous at Macworld 2007." I have never heard of this website, so I cannot make an assessment of its reliability, but suffices to say that it is highly debatable. Interesting nonetheless. Update: More info.

And Apple had the look of Konfabulator widgets and those were similar to...oh christ...don't this arguments ever get old? Anyone who has used more than one OS over a number of years can see that they have all influenced one another. And what they didn't get from each other...they took from BeOS!

And BeOS took it from NexTSTEP and AmigaOS and OS/2 and Mac OS Classic which again took it from earlier systems, incl. DOS-based systems and from elements in applications for the Apple II.
