Even if you CAN give us some explanation of that statement.. it's not stealing when you use an idea that was yours in the first place..

So any innovation to do with Windows in any way is stolen from Apple because they
came up with the first one? Gotcha.

See that B-2 stealth bomber? Totally steals from the Wright brothers.

Re: Microsoft's "Major Announcement" - A Move Towards Open Source
Apple nicked the basics from Xerox; since then it's not too worth getting flustered over who stole what from whom. I doubt they'll go to court again over these kinda issues.

PCs suck though.

I don't mean they actually used Vista, i'm refering to the interface being looking like vista.

???

What do you mean?

OSX was first released in March 2001 and hasn't changed hugely in terms of the GUI, Vista was released in January 2007. How the hell could Apple copy Vista when there was six years between the release of the two products?

Unless they really do have a time machine...

Are you on drugs or just blind? I see absolutely nothing that links that to Vista.

Maybe I just can't see the woods for the trees - can you show me a screenshot of what in Vista looks like the GUI for the iPhone?

Umm … the Dashboard from OS X was around quite some time before that. Which itself was based on Konfabulator anyway, which was eventually bought by Yahoo.

No-one worth knowing cares if you think you have a better PC than them by the way.

I'm going to take the TriggerHappy method of replying and tell you that you're on drugs because that looks nothing like the Iphone.

But really, i didn't know that was out before...so i'm skooled
