It does look like a rip off of Mac OS X. Oh well, M$ can't innovate something of their own making, so they simply steal Apple's ideas- nothing new here.

That video is oddly reminiscent of Bill Gates demoing Win98 and it blue-screening in front of all those people. Pure example of Microsoft.. uhh.. being Microsoft.

Can anybody name a technology innovated by MS?

Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Or was it . Other than that, Microsoft bought their ideas from everyone else.

True, that is a great example of Microsoft at it's best.

They both got their ideas from Xerox so don't bother pointing fingers at who stole from who. Not much original going on in the world of computers. Just improvments on past creations and large companies taking ideas from smaller ones and changing them slightly to make them their own or simply buying them outright. Nothing new there. Capitalism at it's finest.

This is a gross oversimplification of the actual history. You might as well say that Henry Ford got the idea for the Model T from Ogg the Caveman, who discovered the wheel.

Actually CTRL+ALT+DEL was a hardware innovation by IBM. Very old desktop computers ... the original IBMs that was supposed to compete just before the Mac original debuted .... the engineers didnt like reaching behind the behomoth often to shut a frozen machine down (that could be a M$ innovation, a frozen OS, lol). Instead the head engineer found it was easier to use a 3 finger salut!


FACT & Proof!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Alt-Delete

This keyboard combination was designed by David Bradley, a designer of the original IBM PC. Bradley originally designed Control-Alt-Escape to trigger a soft reboot, but he found it was too easy to bump the left side of the keyboard and reboot the computer accidentally.

, the Ctrl-Alt-Del (technically Control-Option-Delete) keystroke does nothing but make the system (in OS X) beep[citation needed], signifying an error. A key command similar to it, Option-Apple-Esc, summons the Force Quit Menu.

I like this implementation on Apple OS X! I like the thinking about its usuage. Beep when a windows nerd comes to a Mac thinking their all supreme, and simplicity in I want to Option Apple to Escape or better yet Give Apple the option to escape (from Windows madness).
