It looks like the official name of Windows Longhorn is going to be Windows Vista. What do you guys think of the name, and of Longhorn in general? And more importantly, what's going to be released first: Duke Nukem Forever, or Longhorn? |

There's a thread about Vista here.
 I don't really see the UI as being a "cheap knock-off" of the Mac OS. Some elements are similar, but the Mac OS is much more than drop shadows, sliding windows, etc.. Judging by the screenshots I've seen, Vista's interface isn't all that similar to that of Mac OS X. Vista is supposed to have search capabilities like OS X's Spotlight, but that's not amazing to fathom; all major OS developers have been working on such technology. OS X's may have came first, but I don't think Vista's is a "rip off". The key thing about operating systems is that you can't compare on a feature-by-feature basis and say one has ripped off the other; you really have to look at it as a whole package. Even with a Spotlight-like search tool and some minor graphic effects being the same, Vista and OS X are still very different operating systems. |
