Introducing Exposé for Windows Vista!

Yeah, and with the $5000 VIP package, you also got access to the new desktop wallpaper images!

Dejo, funniest post of the day. No question about it.

How can they just copy? Isnt there a patent or copyright to OS features?

I think piles was patented before the cross-licencing deal, so MS has rights to it. Just like apple had rights to MS patents granted before the deal... AFAIK.

apple's legal side should start investigating this...

LOL yeah... and maybe Microsoft's legal side should start investigating "fast user switching" or the iPod interface patent (although that's owned by an employee). Give it up, guys. Even if Apple does own a patent to expose, they still have an agreement with M$ to allow each other use of their patents. Otherwise neither O/S would be as full-featured as they are today.

Just to be fair...

Maybe the way MS is doing Expose is smarter than the Apple way. It is nice to have the window images organized in rows, which makes it easier to find what you are looking for vs. a random scattering of windows images.

If the third screenshot down is Microsoft's version of Exposé, it's a pretty poor copy. All the windows in one row across the middle of the screen?

I don't know if you ladies have read this thread or about the upgraded Alt+Tab, but that's what it is........an upgraded Alt-Tab. Actually, I'd like Apple to do this as well on top of having Exposé

The weird thing is how fast the machine has to be to run Vista. I mean, a minimum of 256MB of vRAM, a new type of HD, and new LCD displays because the ones that people have right now won't work?? Is there going to have to be a separate laptop version? Apple does it all with slower hardware requirements.

Don't feel ill just show them a panther box...

And be sure to point out the "© 2003" on it

Well atleast Windoze users have got what they needed, a new Solitaire. All they need now is MineSweeper and FreeCell to get updated . . .

Vista is shameful. I lost interest a long time ago and am loosing more interest everyday in MS in general...especially after I bought my first Macintosh last week....a new PowerBook G4 15"er...maxed out. WHAT A MACHINE! DAMN! I'll never build a windows machine again. OS X is way ahead. This PowerBook is probably the best piece of computer hardware I have ever owned and nothing has ever gotten me more excited (computer-related) as this thing has. It doesn't leave my side.
