First views of Windows Vista
News.com has some screenshots of Vista—Microsoft’s new operating system which used to be code-named “Longhorn”. This is great. Microsoft has copied Apple’s OS X aqua design right down to the search icon.
If I was Bill Gates I would be embarrassed. With his billions of dollars, his interface design experts have been unable to create an OS interface that is innovative and unique.
Apple should be flattered that Microsoft has ripped off copied their interface design. Again.

I’ve been a windows user forever and an Apple user for 3 years and I have to say that this new windows design doesn’t look like OS X, it looks like crap. What’s with the chunky min/max/close buttons? They may have been trying to copy OS X but they fell far short.

There is a great article on the file folders in Vista on Opus.
Microsoft thought it would be a great idea to turn the file folders on their side. Brilliant!
But wait a second, if you do that to a real file folder all of the files will spill out and become a jumbled mess. Give the usability wankers at Microsoft an A+ for this kind of stupidity.
I would love to hear their rationale for doing this.

I agree. Looks like they tried to copy, but still made it look nasty.
