Jan 1, 2009 - so...microsoft realised these were decent ideas and the implemented them in their own devices to make it more useful for the user. i don't think that this is bad at all.
Zorthgo Says:
Jan 1, 2009 - I agree with madrox1994. And I also think that most of the other posters should google sarcasm.

Jan 2, 2009 - I think mac copied the dock idea from Windows. Go figure it out, and you'll be shocked, move a folder to the farthest left or right or up or bottom.

Jan 3, 2009 - who cares if windows copyed something from mac. everyone has copyed something in there life and the ideas with the search HDD helps.. and the arrows in vista helps not losing your place. i love useing my pc but i hate windows at times (why i use safari, itunes, quicktime ect.) theres great things on mac and windows and theres always downfalls with a pc or a mac. all just depends on what your useing the computer for :l
airabyss Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - no they didn't. Go back in 2003 when Microsoft made Longhorn. They have gadgets and that search feature from 2003 so this guy is just anti-microsoft. Mac OS borrowed things from windows too (an old example is the feature to change wallpaper, and now every OS has this feature).
airabyss Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - well, this guy got you. :) You know believe what he wants you to believe. The truth is that Microsoft have gagets from 2003 in Longhorn. And Yahoo has widgets too, those are not invented by MacOS.

Jan 3, 2009 - The whole sarcasm thing is a calling for getting flamed. Your trying to prove what? Vista copied a few features? If even they by fact did, who gives a shit. Vista sucks, and so does any of the Mac OS. So does Linux. When a good OS comes out let me know. Otherwise your proof of being idiot shines more so than your "defending" windows strategy. Get a life, use your Mac, and I will use my Windows. I am used to MS, and I am sticking with it. Your little video is just trolling. Opinions are like-
Psychomyth Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - I review Usher today. Lots of very nice features and sexy tone to his face. Oh wait, your nothing like HIM. Your flat brick nose, IQ level and shirt that screams "My mother picked this shirt for me this morning before eating my coco puffs" Oh wait, opinion. Really, I can for sure tell your an absolute tool, but am I going to make a video? Naw. I don't need to, this comment should do you justice enough. It should prove exactly what I am saying as well.
KingOfThSouth Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - Is this guy being sarcastic? The points that he describes, shows alot of Vista's features do seem like rip-offs. Just because a few missing options or naming differences doesnt make it NOT a rip-off. My opinion is that Mac OS X is crap, and Vista is a mile below OS X. Windows XP will remain the most used, most versatile and most customisable operating system.
KingOfThSouth Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - ah I realise.. he is being sarcastic... but i still stick to my opinion of XP is best. Down with Vista!! I'll burn in hell before upgrading (or rather downgrading) to Vista.

Jan 5, 2009 - ohhh it's a joke! right?
xX0Jota0Xx Says:
Jan 5, 2009 - yeah!!
xX0Jota0Xx Says:
Jan 5, 2009 - ok then what is he proving?? vista stole the ideas, but it's not an exact copy?
Amebixfan Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - XP most customizable? lol, install Debian
kylehughes1 Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - XD os x FTW but what about mojave?!
jdhinds1234 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - upgraded to vista over a year ago. waaaaay better than mac or xp by far. id never go another way
surfoleon Says:
Jan 1, 2009 - kind of retarded dude. it doesn't prove anything. I can get a turkey and call it furkey and sell it for $100000000000000000, but its still the same!!! RETARD. widgets=gadgets but not same name
