Real Cute, Windows

Windows fans, turn away because you're about to be embarassed. Windows has been hyping us all up for the release of Longhorn, hyping us up for about five years actually. They've had to push the release date back so many times that they've actually changed the name to Vista, which is equally lame. However I shouldn't be ripping on that since all of Apples 10.x releases were named after cats which is definatly mockable...anyway. This release, Bill Gates says, will revolutionize computing, making it more people friendly, blabitty bla bla. And what better way to make things more user friendly than by copying off Apple.

Here's some side by side screen shots that you can have some fun with...

iPhoto ('02) and Vista's Media Software



Spotlight ('05) and Vista's Search Software



Expose Screenshot ('04) and Vista's rip-off



Dashboard ('05) and Vista's Widgets on Sidebar



Now if you really want to laugh, go and watch this video which takes the audio from the CES convention for Windows developers where Billy and his boys are introducing Vista, and accompanies it with video of somebody walking through exactly what they're talking about on a mac. Click on the image's to start the video loading. Nice try Gates, but stick to what you're good at...donating your money. But be careful, by the looks of it you won't be making much more. Muah-hahahaha. Windows....you're dead to me. OVER!!!

Now Jeff, I'm not going to go in depth here, I'm just going to mention that even you must admit that both Dashboard and the Sidebar were stolen from Konfabulator, which predated them both.

Jeffrey, thanks for being a part of my conversion experience to Mac! We were talking macs tonight with the family I'm staying with. Why does Windows bother? I love my mac.
