"[...] MS engineers come up with genuinely cool stuff."
Ok, I'll give the MS engineers the credit of the wheel mouse, but they've taken everything else from other places. Take XP for instance, what are the cool features about it? Here are a couple of examples that immediately come to mind:
"More than one person can be logged in at the same time." Yeah, but I've been able to do that with Linux since 1997:
startx --:[1|2|3|4|...] <enter>
"I can skin the desktop to look like anything I want." Linux has had more than plenty ways of changing the look and feel of the GUI with all those window managers, GNOME, KDE, E etc.; this isn't new.
What they did do, was make the cool features accessible with the click of a button, and that button is placed where it's easy to find.
I love tabs too! It'll be neat when i can rearrange the order of the tabs. Hope they're working on this feature.
