Apple vs Microsoft Both Copycats

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-all-copy-each-other-anyway dept.

jdbartlett writes "Yesterday, we read Paul Thurrott's response to Apple's Leopard preview. In his TechBlog, Jim Thompson trims Thurrott's bloated opinion piece and presents an alternative take on four major new features, admitting that each may have been inspired but certainly not by Microsoft. Thompson ignores 6 features; some (Core Animation, Accessibility improvements) needed no defense, but perhaps not all Thurrott's points were invalid."

      Not anymore. Mine keeps reading "88:88" (and 88 seconds) ever since the LCD display got clobbered.
