You missed the point of the comment: they stole the "showmanship", not the "X-Box interface". I don't believe I even mentioned anything about the X-Box gui in the entire message.

Microsoft just isn't capable of anything original, are they. I was reading about the pathetic Steve Ballmer X-Box monkeyboy spectacular when I realized that all this showmanship is just another cheap attempt to rip-off Apple.
First the Graphical Interface (yes, I know Apple ripped if off from Xerox, so that isn't quite as evil), but then they see OS X come out so Microsoft shovels out a steaming load of Windows XP a year later. Now, after seeing Steve Job's charismatic presentations of new Apple technology stimulating interest in their products, Ballmer pathetically tries to replicate it by dancing around frenetically on a stage ordering developers to new heights of "creativity". That company is a leech, and the scariest kind: one that has grown bigger than the body it leeches from.

USB is much faster than most home broadband connections, so the time to fill 5 gig will be much less than the time it took to download the files. :-)
Oh, you mean 5 hours?
