The windows gadgets is knock off of Mac widgets.And the windows restore point is sort like Mac time machine.And with windows 7 pining applications to taskbar is crude way of Mac dock.
I have disabled new crude dock like copy of mac and made my taskbar look classic in windows 7
So yes windows copy !!
And Macs never hardly freeze or crash do the way OS was built.At the most and does not happen hardly a program will not be responsive and can be close and start up again.
But now with windows vista and windows 7 Microsoft is starting to copy this from Mac.The reason windows would freeze or crash is the programs had too much control of the kernel this not case with Mac
I never like the Mac look or windiows vista and 7 look.I like the windows 9x look.
May be it is time for me to move on from the classic windows 9x look and embrace a mac like look and interface. I know people I talk to say this more user friendly.
Some people say Ubuntu is more bridge of windows and Mac like world where it be too much a shock to jump into a Mac like look and feel.
So the Ubuntu OS is more a bridge of windows and Mac look and feel with out going full speed into a Mac like look and feel and get turn off.
