Does Vista fall short of being a next gen OS?

Who is this "guy" who did graphical work for both companies? I may have stumbled across his page before, but does anyone have a link?

Heres what I had found: http://www.macobserver.com/article/2006/03/15.9.shtml

Note this sentence in the first paragraph:

Developing OS X and Longhorn," which saw two former user interface designers at Apple and Microsoft—now co-workers at Frog Design—come together to discuss the design considerations that have gone into Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista.

i followed that link and did some more search on those two names and after 2-3 hours of reading ended up here:

http://www.designinginteractions.com/interviews

some of those ppl (havent checked all the interviews) worked in some way on apple gui before and today. really nice to see the faces behind aqua ^^

I havent found the name of the dude that went to ms to work on the graphical stuff.

I cant imagine doing that myself. I have a nightmarish feeling that microsoft chokes their gui designers in some way lol.

[Edit] Checked more interviews, found these very interesting: Bill Atkinson, Cordell Ratzlaff

[Edit2] After Googling more on Ratzlaff name i found this gem: http://www.visi.com/~snowfall/AHA.html

Lots of names behind Apple Gui there. God i need sleep its 5 am >.<

Hopefully now, all the mac users that cry over vista, will shut up. Its takes minutes to google to find something out, yet they all seem to want to whine over something they really have no clue about. Just cause someone says its a clone, dont mean u have to be their clone and accept what they say as gospel. Find out about what you preach
