Windows 10: Windows 10, inspired by Apple's OS X

I read the article Microsoft didn't copy Apple as the article says, there is a lot of similarities and I could say the same thing with some Linux distros.

 

Where have I heard this before?

Oh yeah, every time one of those companies does something.
Apple copied MS or MS copied Apple.

They both stole ideas from Palo Alto.

 

For the WIN! Most of the ideas came from there from the mouse on.

Ugh...

Much of ios was inspired literally from Windows Phone since version 6. Much of the current mac os x UI is based off 1984. X Code doesn't have much of a foothold in cross platform development as Universal apps do, where the Windows variant has much more potential than the latter. Continuity literally isn't ANYTHING like Continuum, there's no concept apple had before anyone. Siri wasn't first for apple, it was first before apple even bought it out, much like what they did back in the old mac days with Xerox. PCs don't get "bricked." They can crash, but are able to be recovered easily. If the Spartan browser copied Safari, it should be grateful. apple doesn't sell a lot of PCs, their marketshare reflects that and has for many years. They only broke the smartphone rules in 2007. In my mind, Microsoft has set a pretty dominant trend in the tech world where apple and google are copying Microsoft. You didn't see a removal of skeuomorphic design or google's paper design until Windows Phone 7 or even Zune for that matter were released. Microsoft builds the framework, apple takes credit for it.

Bullocks if I've ever seen it!

 

Google is not copying Microsoft or any other company. There is a claim going through the courts that Google copied Red Hat java api. That case if Google looses could destroy the internet for the U.S. If Red hat won, everybody that uses a computer in some form uses an api that is reversed engineered would be violating the copyright. It would be an economic catastrophe if that happens and Red Hat enforces their copyright.

I am not saying this will happen, just what I have read. I am not trying make anyone mad. I don't think Red Hat would wants to destroy the economy though.

 

I'm sorry but Xerox came up with the idea for the GUI interface first in the 70's. Every one copied from them when Xerox didn't follow up on the concepts.

I forgot about Xerox what a mistake they made but surprisingly they are still in business.

From what I recall the first mouse was presented to the exec's and they acted like a turd was dropped on the desk.

First, it's Oracle, not Red Hat.

Second, Yes. Google does copy. And they lost the case. However, now Google is claiming that they had the legal right to copy because the material was usable under the Fair Use Doctrine.

See Google: Oracle Lawsuit Is Damaging - Business Insider

This really goes back to the original Sun (then owner of Java) lawsuit against Microsoft. Which Sun also won, and lead to the development of Microsoft's .NET. Sun (and now Oracle) are not afraid to cut off their nose to spite their face, and they have suffered greatly because of it.

 

According to Mac aficionados, everything, including the wheel, was invented by Apple... Basically, it goes like this: when Apple releases a product that incorporates technology completely new to Apple products, Apple users are quick to erroneously conclude that "Apple invented it." Case in point: USB is an Intel technology. I had USB ports on my Win98 SE box, ports which Microsoft eventually supported with drivers before I got rid of that particular box. Couple of years later, Apple ships the iMac, with USB ports, and suddenly Appledom is afire with the idea that Apple invented USB. That's the way it works for folks caught up in the Mac RDF.

Apple users are generally as far from tech-savvy as it is possible to be, and that's just the way Apple likes them... Such persons have personal, giant neon signs that say, "SUCKER Here"...! Employees at Apple stores are trained in the art of spotting such people the moment they walk in the door...
