goodness gracious! now, we all know that MS would not copy anyone... especially Apple.


After all, Microsoft MEANS innovation! They ARE the leader to which eveyone looks for the next big thing!!


ok ok, so i LIKE IE5 (and i like IE 4.5.1 too)!!

QuickTime Player 4 isn't that bad.

You'd think that Microsoft would know to only copy Apple's good ideas.

The perfect OS would be the combo of the best of MacOS and Windows, both Apple? and MS should copy all the best parts of both OS's then every one win's. Besides there is something MS can never copy, and that is the Mac it self.

After looking at that picture again, I think it looks more like RealPlayer than QuickTime Player.

Which has the worst interface: QuickTime Player 4, RealPlayer 7, or Windows Media Player 7?

At least there is a patch to get rid of the brushed metal look of QuickTime Player.

Hey wlonh!

Please close this thread now. The global Windows Vs MacOS debate has now fractured into sub-debate: WMP vs Quicktime. PLEEAASE!!!
