I mean, did you see Mac OS X and compared it with Windows Vista ... all of the new features in Vista are taken from Mac OS X, the Gadgets taken from Widgets in Mac, the search bar, the Windows Media Player's library and the player's bar ... etc

Probably because Windows/PC is more popular than Mac. Right or Wrong, that's the way it is.

This is nothing new... Microsoft has readily admitted to following Apple's footsteps since 1984.
Look at the previous versions of Apple operating systems and compare that with the features in Windows three years later. They almost match bullet point to bullet point.
Vista is no different. When you control 95+% of the market, you can do this. Who's going to listen to the 5% saying "it looks like my computer did three years ago?"

Because micosoft owns the DRM. Apple uses Intelaktual porperties of some stockholders in Sweeden. So they are permitted to use anything that they choose to.
Show me the money and I will show you a uhhh,,ermm philathropist, CEO, gies millions to do something , but Vista Ultima costs $489 for one 'license'. Offers good in US and parts of Canada, taxes will apply, void where prohibited, additional fees will be applied after sales are final.
XP still isnt fixed, so they copied, borrowed, bought and stole what they knew worked.
Apple,Linux,BeOS,SunJava, list goes on,,,,
I am still wondering when Micro is going to pay UNIX and DOS programmers , then the Linux and UNIX volunteers.
I wouldn't touch that blood $.

I'm a guy and I agree with you completely. I value love far more than I do lust. Do things together as friends, then work on a romantic relationship. Do you enjoy the same foods, hobbies, concerts, music and theater? It takes time and effort to find out if you are compatible or not. Personally, I like the wonderment and anticipation of a possible romantic relationship.

Most people are tools and will buy the Vista hype, while those of us who are inclined to think different will continue to enjoy the benefits of the Macintosh. Although, more people than ever are finally catching on to Microsoft's tactics and realizing that there is a better choice. I've seen more Macs today than I ever have, outside of the educational market. I imagine that a lot of people will have to buy a new PC in order to run Vista. That being the case, there will be people who decide to make the switch to Mac over buying a brand new PC.
