"On thing that really troubled me is that at PDC 2003, much of what
would ship in Vista was revealed. Some time later Apple implemented very
similar features in Tiger - though they were much less well implemented.
No real problem there... they are all going to borrow from one
another... the bit that was particularly bas was when Apple kicked off
the whole "start your photo copiers... " bit when Tiger was about to ship.
Similarly, once Vista shipped, Leopard came out and outright copied many
elements from Vista's UI/effects and features - again, much less well
done than they were in Vista.
As an example... Leopard only recently added basic object tagging -
something that is really well done and pervasive in Vista.
....There is so much in Vista - from the integrity mechanism that allows
third party devs to continue to be sloppy, yet still protect the system,
to full support for HDCP content, that it boggles the mind that none of
that is well featured in any MS traffic. For example, where oh where is
the online streaming media demo of what UAC is, why it is important and
how it works? We deployed a Vista system tonight for a long-standing
financial services customer... she said: "I can't believe how good this
<Vista> is; I had heard so much bad about it..." From whom, we asked and
she said: "People; they're nuts, this is so great!"
