Hilarious.

Although, if you're going to get specific, I'd say the new transparent menu, thumbnail previews and stacks ("group similar tasks", anyone?) seem very familiar.

if ur talking about what i think ur talking about, is it how vista ripped off OSX's 'live' thumbnail preview of minimised windows, moved it to a different corner of the screen and claimed all the credit?

Exactly! Y'know, similar to how OS X started magically using limited user accounts after XP, and significantly bumped up their parental controls after Vista.

Hey, you're right. This is fun!
