Pogue: Vista Not a Rip-off of Mac OS X (Not)

· by · News

Think Windows Vista steals features from Mac OS X? Think again. The New York Timesi David Pogue points out that even though widgets and gadgets seem to be the same, the names show that they must be different.

Mr. Pogueis tongue-in-cheek video report compares several features in Windows Vista to similar features that have been available in Mac OS X for some time, including Spotlight, Dashboard Widgets, and even the chess game.

You can watch Mr. Pogueis video on The New York Times Web site and decide for yourself - Microsoft: Innovator or copycat?
