Is Windows Vista Just an OS X Rip-off?

David Pogue Considers Whether
Microsoft "Appropriated" Mac OS X Ideas for Vista

Is Windows Vista Just an OS X Remake?

Many people have suggested that Microsoft simply appropriated ideas found in Mac OS X and Ubuntu for use in Windows Vista. After all, all three have desktop search capabilities, photo galleries as part of their file browsers, personal information managers that manage email, contacts, notes, and schedule. But David Pogue calls this "sour grapes" among Mac users (and presumably the same for Ubuntu users). You decide. Is Vista just Ubuntu-OS X redivivus? see teh video:

[aryayush]

Also david pogue seems a bit retarded to me..

He's the guy who authored Windows Vista: The Missing Manual - one of the best selling books on Windows Vista. He is the technology columnist for the New York Times and a CBS news correspondent. Watch his videos in his iTunes podcast. He knows how to present technology with a humourous angle to it.

BTW, it is quite clear that people on this forum don't quite get sarcasm.
