You've probably read it: M$ has copied Apple once again and adopted stronghand tactics vs. Bloggers / Websites. And what's more, the rationale is laughingly thin: "there may be certain technologies in the Longhorn Developer Preview build for which Microsoft has not filed patent applications".

Well, maybe it's best that these Longhorn screenshots were taken down, as they really were mostly embarrassingly bad copies of OS X UI ideas.

The one quote from Windows True Believer Paul Thurrot I like best on this page:

A clarification. On Tuesday, I noted that "this has the makings of a train wreck." I wasn't referring specifically to build 5048, which is a developer build only, and doesn't show off the final UI. Instead, I was referring to the Longhorn project itself, which is careening so wildly out of control that it may never successfully come to a conclusion.

As SJ (I think) once said: "True artists ship!"

WTF ?

Why do we have a dozen of threads about what a moron called Paul Thurrot is saying ?

Aaaarrrgh...

Copland anyone?
