And IMO the Vista feature set is an embarrasing copy of all the features that Mac users have been using for the last 2 years....seriously
aqua = aero
widgets = gadgets
expose = flip3d
mac mail = windows mail
ical = windows calendar
live dock previews = live taskbar previews
dashboard = sidebar
spotlight = desktop search
smart folders = search folders
etc....
..I dunno how the big wigs at microsoft can all sit down together at a metting and agree to call their new interface 'Windows Aero', they must be retarded. I'm suprised they didn't call their new MP3 player the 'iZune'.
Even if you are the biggest Microsoft fan on the planet, you have say that all the BIG features that MS shout about in their Vista blurb are basically their version of the same features in OS X.

Hardly anything has Mac drivers unless it comes with that brand native in the mac. And half the drivers are beta.
Why does it matter if windows copied the "feature set" from Mac? As I said, Mac looks more and more like windows with every release.
But then 75% of that "feature set" that windows stole has been part of windows powertool since 98.
Personally I dont give a shit who stole what or anything as long as I end up with a good product, if that means each OS needs to "borrow" the best from the other to make themself better then by all means do it, We both know OS's arent the only place that happens, just load up any two links off this board and have a look.
I am not a MS fan, but I am not a Mac fan either. I use the one thats easier for me to get what I need to get done, done. If Windows is easier for me for the simple fact that I have used it the longest, then so be it, I just hate the Mac fans that make it their purpose to prove Mac is better, and the best they can come up with is that Windows stole the features....
PS, I used to run Redhat way back befor windows 98 was out, and then switched to FreeBSD shorty after 98 was out, and dual booted. XP was when I didnt use freebsd enough to warrent keeping it on my drive. And I Have played around with macs on many occasions.
