For some reason I can't see the vid. Can I get a summary?
And please, a little more than "Vista sucks". Thanks.

it's a sarcastically-toned confirmation that Vista is essentially a rip off of OSX10, presented by an infinitely punchable gasface.

(Dec 18 06, 06:27)"Just points out how "vista isn't copying OSX" through things like Vista's version of the Finder being on the bottom left instead of top right "Clearly not the same", the chess game having 1 fewer options for texture than OSX "Obvious differences", etc. It's pretty good tongue in cheek "debunking" of how Vista "clearly" isn't copying OSX
Funny stuff though

Steve Jobs called, he said he wants his OS back.
It might not be horrible, as evidence of IE 7 upgrade, but it's still damn close to OSX

Oh I forgot, the single purpose programs on Vista = GADGETS - OBVIOUSLY not the same as WIDGETS :D

if vista is copying osx, it is only good for it. it is not an art contest, it doesn't matter who's been there first. if you repeat it rips osx, you're only doing m$ free advertising.
i wish osx would copy some of good windows usability sometimes too.

there was a moment - I have to admit - when I was thinking to buy the new microsoft OS.. just for reasons of having a legal copy and so.. but now:
Is it illegal to steal from a thief?
(plus I don't think my p4 with 2gig of ram is fast enough to run that crap)

Vista is a dog.
A DOG!
It's been raping some of the testing machines here for weeks. Nothing good to report.
Microsofts entire career has been ripping Macs OS... badly.

man you guys are geeks...what we know now is based on what others before created or discovered.
If you had to reinvent the wheel everyday we would still be in caves.
its just a platform both bill and steve are cool they not fighting they know the have legions to do that over stupid crap.
Look its an os use it if u like or use something else but get off your soapboxes because it happens in every industry and for the primary goal of making money not giving u bragging rights over ur friend on another platform!
heheh had to get that out this arguments been all over my office. u guys kinda triggered my release, nothing personal :)

Is this really any different to when XP came out? Things will settle down, people will actually take the leap and use it and no doubt love some things and not like others. It's a big step forward - you'll appreciate it more when you use it on a daily basis.
- rafalski0
it's not a big step forward, but neither was XP - a rebadged windows 2000 with skins. this time they turned cleartype on, added gadgets and gazillion annoying security warnings. new fonts are quite nice.
"windows defender" - wtf? i feel as i was just conscripted when running vista.
