Apple Playing Vista Copycat

We have never published much about Apple Mac on this site mainly because we have never really been exposed to it and it remains a bit of an enigma to us her, but we have published quite a few stories written by Mary J Foley of ZDnet fame, she always seems to have her finger on the pulse and bring lots of intelligent articles for us mere wannabe's to digest, so when she comes out with comments on this scale, maybe we should listen, sparks will fly if true.

Apple Leopard "copied Vista"

After Mary Jo Foley got back to the office and mulled over what she saw, she said that she could not get over the fact that 5,000 WWDC attendees were wetting themselves about technologies in Leopard that already existed in Windows Vista.

In fact, she claimed, Vista looked pretty darn up-to-date in comparison to Leopard.

She said that the Leopard Desktop was the spit of Vista’s Aero and Sidebar. It comes with a new finder which have the same capabilities as the integrated “Instant Search” in Vista. Leopard's Coverflow viewing capability looked almost identical to Vista’s Flip 3D.
