Unfortunately that video didn't work for me, but really... I'm not surprised about the whole Ms copy Apple buisiness. But you know what really gets me, Microsoft won the patent for the ipod circular scroll wheel!!! I really don't know if they'll have the balls to follow it up, but cmon. That is Apple's thing and they must be quite annoyed over that. I'll wait a bit and get vista (maybe with a newer, desktop this time, PC) when it has been ironed out and perfected!

In regard to Aero, it hardly resembles OSX's aluminum look. Maybe a couple of transitions were borrowed and altered, but in reality, it's all a bit different. iPhoto is probably ten times better than Windows Photo Gallery, and iMovie/iDVD have got to so much closer to pro than Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD whatever.

And as I said before, David Pogue is really dumb.

Whether it's a ripoff or not of Max OS X......I'm still a little wary of getting it. I've read about the problems it can cause and about all the different things that have occurred. I'm not really sure if I want to upgrade or not. Can anyone say it's been working well for them?

I rememeber when it was coming out all of the news shows like CNN were saying to avoid it and that you could wait for a while. It's not like you needed it right away, but it would be better to wait until you did. It looked cool yea....but if it's got problems or is just annoying....I won't be using it. Not for a while anyway.

How do you guys like it? (if you have it)

Yah he is, but you should be nice to him. That took a lot of his brain power to make that.

Even I somehow feel, Vista is if not copy of Mac, is atleast a baby born with Mac's inspiration!

Well, I agree on the part by David Pogue. I also have to say that some things are just universal.
Although if you are creative you can come up with many ways to do things, only a few ways will
actually fit the demands of most people.

It would be like suing somebody for making a web browser toolbar and saying that the general
idea of additional toolbars was their idea or something like that. It would be crazy to do such a thing.
Copyrights, trademarks, and patents were created to protect work from being stolen. I'm pretty sure
that we all know that. However, not much is actually being "stolen". These things are just universal.

As we get more advanced, we might think that these thing are not universal, especially with something
like Aero and the funky GUIs. At the end of the day, most of those things are universal.

Now of Apple comes up with something brilliant ( again ), and Windows takes it without much change,
there has to be some complaints there. What Microsoft can do is get inspiration from Apple and make
a better version of Apple's product.

Also, Microsoft would never attempt to hurt Apple furiously like I saw described in an earlier post.
That would just decrease Microsoft's popularity dramatically. Microsoft doing that could have a worse
effect on Microsoft itself than Apple. When Apple gets revenge, Microsoft will be hurt even worse.

Because of the possibility of that happening, Microsoft has to strive to be as angelic as Apple, but Microsoft
is a position where everything that they do can be perceived as evil. Because of that position, Microsoft
is a sitting duck. Let me rephrase that. A rich sitting duck.

resemblence doesn't means copying. still vista is a system hugger it need overall system rebuild which increases cost. apple has always been the expensive one. so..doesn't matters for me what so ever.
