El Reg has reveiwed Windows Vista. "So, there's our first look at Vista. It does benefit from a lot of good ideas, many of them Apple's, of course, but good nevertheless. It simply doesn't work very well, unfortunately. There are serious problems with execution; it's not polished; it's not ready. It should not be on the market, and certainly not for the outrageous prices being charged. Don't buy it, at least until after the first service pack is out. Don't pay to be a beta tester." Elsewhere, analysts believe Windows Vista will take a bite out of Mac's market share.

Vista was in development along the same time as Mac. We all know Mac has a closed development cycle as in they don't disclose any information nor show it off until it's near release.
How in the HELL could Vista have taken these things then?
Cool, are you for real? I've seen people running OS X for years, with all the spotlight and gadget stuff in it for quite a while too. And yes, I know the Finder sucks.
But, I know you're joking, so this reply too is just for entertainment value.
Not that "closed development" really matters much. You really think MS can't get their hands on what Apple do before it's out? It's in the best interest of Apple to show much of what they're doing to Microsoft, because if MS would create something too similar, it's much easier to accuse them of using the copiers. If you see something, it's much more difficult to avoid being inspired by it. And if MS keep thinking OS X is the benchmark, they will never escape the role of being the follower. Keeping things a real secret @Apple might force MS to really innovate, don't it sound wild? Something Apple wants to avoid.
