My first impression on Vista was "OMG, this is so similar to Mac?" Don't get me wrong, I'm a GNU/Linux user.

@raidensreturn "You really can't deny that Windows 7, which is presented as this amazing new original operating system designed to break boundaries and introduce new concepts, is a total rip-off of OS X. Show some effing originality Microsoft!"

And in some cases (the Dock--taskbar debate, for example), the ideas lead back much further; the Dock's functionality (which was copied in Windows 7) can be traced back to NeXTSTEP.
