    It's like they tried to copy Apple but it looks like a crappy knockoff.

    It may seem like that. But Enlightenment was first. I was using Enlightenment well before OS X first came out (and I then bought a Mac with OS X and retired my Enlightenment machine, mind you).

    But Enlightenment was excellent way back when. There are some things I still miss, like the pagers (although Expose is cool as well).

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt to assume you're talking about OS X, and not talking about OS 9 or previous systems. Because they bear absolutely no resemblance at all to Enlightenment. So if that's what you're suggesting than you're not just wrong, you're insane.
