Microsoft manager admits to copying ‘Mac look and feel’
Filed under: OS
We’ve been saying it for years, but everyone thought that we Mac-heads had a chip on our shoulder from the once-sour relationship with Microsoft. Finally, however, the truth has come to light; a group manager from Microsoft has gone on record and admitted the source of some of Windows 7′s prettier bits and pieces.
Simon Aldous sat down with PCR for an interview and when he was asked to comment on the agility of Redmond’s latest operating system, he had this to say:
“What we’ve tried to do with Windows 7 – whether it’s traditional format or in a touch format – is create a Mac look and feel.”
While I am glad that people at Microsoft are finally accepting the superiority of OS X, it still stung a little when Simon started to backtrack saying that Vista was more stable than OS X.
