Aqua-Soft Forums... and New York Times tech superstar David Pogue
EDIT : For the people who MIGHT think that this guy is serious... HE IS JOKING and pulling a SARCASM all over MS. Just so you know..
Vista IS NOT a rip-off of OS X !!
this is total bs.
"oh spotlight is at the top and windows vista search thing is at the bottom!!" OMGZ NOT A COPY
c'mon. the position where the search bar is placed does not mean its not copied. what makes it similar to spotlight is the program itself, its visual features, the way it runs, etc.
"Gadgets=/ Widgets" big whoop. the name isnt the same. this is the same thing with spotlight. They run the similar, they look similar, and they both have the same concept.
"The chess game" like seriously. just because Windows Vista replaced the board texture grass with Porcelain, doenst mean theyre completely different. they once again, look/run/feel the same.
This guy has no idea what it is talking about.
Lmfao - "V FOR VISTA BABY!" lmao that made me laugh.
LMAO!!! Frick, this guy is respected?? Man, AppleThink could do a better job than this guy in the video...
V FOR VISTA BABY!!!
tsk tsk... calm down AppleThink... I think you didn't understand that guy, and here I was thinking little sarcasm would be nice for the holiday season. 
Everybody who got mad at that video, google up the definition for "sarcasm."
no one got mad, they started to laugh at the ridiculous stufff spewing out of "David Pogues" mouth

i figured he was being sarcastic but he sounds convincing so i think that threw some ppl off.
I think this guy (David Pogue) is totally ironical 
Or if i believe in what he said he should be fired by Donald Trump... (why The Donald ? hu ? why not !)
this guy doesn't what he is talking.
all I can say.
1. he should go back to 1st grade.
2. he is paid by M$ to broadcast his video.
3. I should can to his house I shot him with a shutgun.

All I have to say is calm down, it's just a joke damnit
either that guy is bloody good actor, or people have started loosing their sense in differentiating Sarcasm from BS (eg. BS is what Steve Ballmer does.. google Steve Ballmer to learn about art of BSing)
Tsk Tsk... kids these days !! *sigh*
EDIT : I've edited my first post so that there is no more confusion !
hahahaha this is all hilarious....
this is total bs."oh spotlight is at the top and windows vista search thing is at the bottom!!" OMGZ NOT A COPY
c'mon. the position ...does not mean its not copied. what makes it similar to spotlight is the program itself...

No you just dont understand sarcasm... perhaps I'm Australian so I understand it a little more (Ozzies are really sarcastic all the time)...
the point you just made was the point hes making, he points out all the subtle changes and says they make Vista totally different...when quite clearly they dont.
no one got mad, they started to laugh at the ridiculous stufff spewing out of "David Pogues" mouth
... *shakes head*... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... has the penny dropped yet?... It was rediculous, he intended it to be, because he is ripping off Microsoft. David Pogue is a well known writer who reviews Apple products (he is a fan and dislikes Vista). Hence why the editors overlayed the MacOSX cd at the end.

1- so should you. Actually just consult google define: sarcasm.
2- No M$ did not pay him to broadcast this video, it was Apple who posted this on thier site... Microsoft did not. It advertises Apple using Sarcasm to rip off Vista.
3-... ur such a phycho fanboy... calm down, lower the shotgun... we're on your side. So is Mr Pogue. *Pogue runs to a corner, and shelters his face, wimpering in fear*
i figured he was being sarcastic but he sounds convincing so i think that threw some ppl off.
True perhaps, but his sly smile gives him away. and the way he says "Porcelaaaiinnn"... "totally different"...
wtv, i dont know hoo David Pogue is so seriously. i didnt realise the sarcasm. maybe if i knew who he was i wouldnt have said all the stuff i did.
OK DUDES... seriously:
Spotlight: This idea of a recursive search functionality ripped APPLE from the AJAX Project...
Widgets: Apple just called them widgets, this stuff was already available as share or freeware so ITS NO INVENTION OF APPLE
Touchscreen Ipod: Its a rip of the iRiver Clix
The Mouse: In the early seventies Apple even ripped the idea of a mouse driven Desktop from ZEROX
iPhoto: Come on... would you ever say THATS SOMETHING TOTALLY NEW??? Thats just technological progress in the behaviour of electronics at all...
... and more and more and more...
SO WHAT DO YOU WANNA SAY??? THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT APPLE RELEASED SEVERAL VERSIONS OF OSX WHILE MICROSOFT DEVELOPED VISTA...
Dont be so starry-eyed... and dont focus so much on macs... the devil will appear as a sweet little bird and not as a monster... remember that... oh my god...
OK DUDES... seriously:Rant Rant Rant
we are not starry eyed.
I use both OSX and Windows Xp/Vista on a daily basis, and see the benefit of both.
I mainly use Windows for gaming and specialised programs (cloneCD etc) but I use OSX for surfing the web, writing documents and pretty much everything else (music, photos, videos etc).
I just like the fact the OSX brings together all those great features you mentioned such as spotlight, iLife, etc under one roof and does it in such a way that you dont have to stuff around with it.
I find it easier to organise my media with iLife than I do with explorer, and I like metatags- but thats just a personal preference.
And of course then theres those other things such as dashboard that add the cherry to the top of the cake... by no means are they revolutionary or hugely important but they are nice to have thier within easy reach.

Sarcasm is okay when it's funny, but this is just annoying. I'll come soon and close this thread if things are getting out of hand...

For the first time in my life @ A-S, I regret posting this.... just to watch couple of kids fighting like it's an end of the world... 
People will fight for what they believe in. If they believe that Vista is an OS X rip off, then that's fine by me. Let them think that. Meanwhile, I'll continue to save up for both Windows Vista (since my PC is powerful enough to handle this fine piece of software) and a mighty fine MacBook for OS X. I'll have the best of both worlds while the little script kiddies keep trying to persuade each other that the software they are fanboying for is superior to the other. Meanwhile I'm one of the few laughing my but off running my MacBook on the same desk as my Vista box.
... both Windows Vista (since my PC is powerful enough to handle this fine piece of software) and a mighty fine MacBook for OS X. I'll have the best of both worlds ...
Why not let the Macbook do both?... I use my Macbook Pro for OSX, XP and Vista. And it handles all fine.
Lets just clear some things up, I am not a fanboy, I like all operating systems equally despite preferring OSX for most of my day to day things... Sorry If I came accross overly arguementative, I dont mean to cause a fanboy war over something where I can see both sides of the fence.
