Is it me or are both windows and macosx heading for a world of large, shiny, childish icons? UI design seems to be assuming we need our heads stroking as we interact with our machines...

March 24, 2001 – OS X released
2006 – Microsoft OSX rip-off released
Well done Bill only 5 years late!
It looks like with the double threat of Google and Mac that Microsoft may be finally screwed. I haven't used a microsoft product in well over a year.
Also (from wikipedia's entry on OS X):
The use of soft edges, translucent colors, and pinstripes (similar to the hardware of the first iMacs), brought more color and texture to the windows and controls on the Desktop than OS 9's "Platinum" appearance offered. Initially, this raised a great deal of controversy among users. Many older Macintosh users decried the interface as "toy-like" and lacking in professional polish, while others hailed the new interface as another revolutionary Apple innovation. The look was instantly recognizable, and even before the first version of Mac OS X was released, third-party developers started producing skins for customizable applications like Winamp that were designed to look similar to the Aqua interface. Apple has threatened legal action against people who make or distribute software which provides an interface which they claim is derived from their copyrighted design.

Based on Microsoft's current stock price, Bill is worth: $26.99 Billion.
who's the one laughing all the way to the bank then?

he basically owns the US.

the end of microsoft? yeah right.
not everyone on the planet wants to buy an OS update every year because the old one is no longer supported.
I have a G4 with OS9 on it at work and I cant even get safari for it without upgrading which the office isnt going to pay for.

as Mac goes main stream, it will face what Microsoft is facing, alot of issues with software and hardware.
did i mention that new updates for 13.9 + has this tendencies to kill your wired ram?
