Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y Is Windows 7 leaning too much towards the Mac side of life? Many Microsoft bloggers are saying that it does, that Windows 7 is too much "form over function", something they accuse Apple of. While superficially they may have a point, the differences between Windows and Mac OS X are still glaringly obvious. Are a few changes to the taskbar enough to make Windows OS X-like? Bloggers like Mary-Jo Foley, Paul Thurrot, and others seem to think so.

Why would Microsoft inventor of the most successful OS in history, copy from Apple with its useless OS that has little market share and no applications


Because that's how it works, in every industry? Inventions are made by small, more or less independent companies that usually lack the resources to take their stuff mainstream. Invention gets noticed by big company X who then either "steals" it or just acquire the company.
