The problem is... it's still looks very inconsistent. The GUI of Windows has always had a "design by committee" feel.

I'm in no way saying Apple is perfect (with the ever changing brushed metal, metallic, etc. etc.).

All great things are copied by the uninspired sooner or later.
M$ does this since apple exists.

Microsoft copies Apple, Apple copies Microsoft, etc etc... that's just how it works. Deal with it.

What did Microsoft do with that start menu?
8 Core 2.8 ghz Mac Pro/GF8800/2 23" Cinema Displays, 3.06 ghz Macbook Pro
Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

I heard the 3D viruses are really well done, and blend seamlessly with the "themz".
Please keep in mind the ambiguously selective general understandings we've all agreed upon...

yeah right.... since the beggining Apple copy other great non-public-hide ideas and implemented them to their OS and so on to the public, like the GUI that is was taken from Xerox, and the Mouse that was a joystick in Japan, but never, and I say NEVER copy nothing from "Mediocresoft" in fact, MS truly copy everything from Mac with very bad results, but it is Apple the first to push the envelope and MS just try to make something similar, Apple steals from great minds, and MS steals Apple.
