Default Windows Vista is not Mac OS X!!

I thought this was funny

Windows Vista is not Mac OS X
Now that Windows Vista has been released, many people have been complaining that in Redmond they really looked well at their OS building colleagues in Cupertino. They argument that a lot of things have been copied. A journalist from the New York Times shows that Windows Vista is no rip-off of Mac OS X. Check this (ironic) three minute video on YouTube:

And it's not like the Mac OS was orginal in the first place considering that Mac got the idea for GUI interface from Xerox.

I feel like dieing (however that is spelt). Infact I'd rather kill him. Maybe through some sort of email of that video.

Keyword: idea

Xerox never implemented their 'ideas' nor were they ever patented.

It's called a joke Looks like some people forgot their funny bones this morning.

And once you do dig into the operating system more, you will see that the two are growing in the same direction.
