Microsoft, in it's bloated stupidity, comes out and says “oh, what he said was inaccurate and uninformed” – I guess Windows 7 WASN'T designed for a positive user experience, eh?

No where does the quote even vaguely hint at anything being borrowed, appropriated, or “stolen” from the Mac. Anyone who says it does can't read English.

What he says is that OS X is a fantastic user interface, which it is. And they tried to make Windows 7 equally fantastic. How this is a bad thing escapes me.

For the record, I work with Windows XP, Mac, and Linux on a daily basis. My preference is Mac, but I have tried Windows 7 beta. I was unimpressed as it seemed no better than many Linux distros. The user experience was on par with XP… perhaps a little better, but certainly no worse.

However, let me say that when I bought VMWare, I also bought XP. I'll let everyone else be beta users for Windows 7.

I just installed Windows 7 Pro on a brand new build, no problems. I updated my bios, graphics driver, etc., installed my programs, all was cool, thing worked awesome.....UNTIL I made the mistake of letting it install automatic updates: it was the kiss of DEATH! Now, no matter what, it will only boot into safe mode. I tried to do a system restore, which it allegedly did...same thing. Tried it twice. Then, tried to just re-install it(re-format to wipe it clean) but the CD starts to load files, then has all sorts of lines running across the screen. I've never seen anything like it and I find many people are having the same/similar issues after updates. So, why is that MAC can make a reliable OS, but MS is clearly pathetic in this endeavor?

Aero didn't come along until 2006. It makes the origin of Aero a bit suspect to being a borrowed idea, but saying Micro$oft stole the idea is a big statement. Remember when the recycle bin showed up in windows 95? How long was apple using that idea before windows 95 came along? It's always the same argument about different features. A lot of these features are just the next logical step in the technology behind them; so of course two companies can seperately come to share some features. Personally I don't care where the ideas come from, as long as the good ideas are here to stay. OS X has been using GPU accelerated desktop since 2002 with the introduction of Quartz Extreme.
