Now that Microsoft has incorporated several similar features found in Apple's OS X to their Windows 10 OS.
Which side do align with now?
Keep in mind:
- Microsoft added an Exposé feature which allows you to view all of your windows on the screen as well as multiple desktops. They call it the Task View.
- The search function has been updated to search the web as well as your PC.
- The Microsoft Store. 'Nuff said.
- An anon here said that Microsoft Edge web browser bares many resemblances to Apple's Safari web browser.
- Microsoft's OS is called Windows 10; Apple's OS is called OS X (said as Ten not X).
Pick your poison.
No additional options as this is to see which evil you would select.

Microsoft gave me an Xbox. Apple gave me an iPod. My choice is obvious.

Neither? They are two --companies-- --corporations-- actually really real pretend people copying each other in attempts to sell things.
In a more interesting thought, I've been watching all the Terry Gilliam movies, and (were I religious) I might think Terry Gilliam could actually be a vehicle through which God laughs directly at humanity.

So are you using a GNU+ Linux machine?

So which do you like better? The Xbox or the iPod?

They both copy of each other if a function has been found useful. Why shouldn't they?

See, the thing is, OS X came out like 10 years ago and looks and functions pretty similar to the way it did when it came out.
Windows 10 is, presumably, built off of the codebase initially created for Vista, but Windows 10 and Vista bare only vague resemblances.

Is Matthew R. Miller defending Apple as if it's the computer brand that Jesus Christ would use again?

Doesn't Windows 7 also work with the Windows Vista codebase?

Yes, however the changes are more stabilty-related than interface-related. Visually, Vista and 7 are mostly the same with the exception of the Start menu being truncated to the pearl in 7.

NT came out in the mid or early 90s. The current Windows line is based on that. OS X is based on something from the 70s. This really has nothing to do with the quality of the operating system.

I think he was trying to say that Apple has been refining the same interface for 20 years whereas Windows attempts to do something completely new every 4 years.
Which I think would be fine if they didn't do it so half heartedly
