So how much does Windows Vista look like OS X?
Quite a bit, it would appear. There's a discussion over at Macslash with a link to the article from whence this image came.
I have to say, now that I've been steeped in XP for a while, and having used Tiger since it came out, I would be glad to see some symbiotic feature adaptation - both OSs do certain things better (and Linux does certain other thing better than both of those, like being free as in beer. But I digress.) I wish XP had system-wide spellcheck and the ability to create PDF files from the print dialogue. I wish OS X had a start button or some similiar anchor point. I wish I could run OS X on cheap clone hardware (although some people are doing this now). I wish Windows had a UNIX underbelly and no registry. I wish I had a spider monkey trained to bring me coffee.
Most of all, I wish my celly had a beatbox on it.

I just wonder what kind of upgrade if any can be made from XP to Vista. I have done way too much work to make my XP machines stable to fuck it up with an upgrade to Vista. Also, I totally agree with the Linux/Unix kernel arguement and I wonder why Microsoft is beating a dead horse and not moving to a base that is more SECURE, leaner, and more geared toward future technologies. It is kind of like putting a nice GUI front end on a Cobol program and calling it cutting edge. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
