#Windows7 is nothing like #Mac #OSX – “Trust us”, #Microsoft
If, like me you’ve been chuckling more than a little about the fact that a Sr Microsoftie Simon Aldous came clean was horribly mistaken earlier this week when he admitted inaccurately told the press that Windows 7 owes its look and feel to Apple’s OS X. You’ll be relieved that Microsoft has now settled the matter officially stating that Me Aldous’ comments were “Totally inaccurate”.
Methinks that our friends in Redmond doth protest too much. After all, the fact that Windows 7 has an alpha blended UI at last is total coincidence and that the new task bar highly resembles Apple’s Dock is just a perception issue. Anyone thinking that Windows 7′s new thumbnail view for running application looks anything like Apple’s Stacks must have mud in their eye. Not forgetting that Windows 7 now supports multi-touch (oh what innovation!) is in no way influenced by the fact that Apple brought that technology to market over 3 years ago. Lastly be mindful that the brand new Microsoft retail stores look almost exactly like in no way resemble the Apple stores we’ve all been packing into for years.
Most importantly know that Microsoft thrives off innovation…… just not their own innovation!
Microsoft denies employee’s comments about copying Apple | Mac OS X | MacUser | Macworld.
