Wow...Microsoft really copied every aspect. I love it though how all the Windows Fans are raving about the new features, when we have had them for a year.
If I recall, the only way to get Windows Media Center is to buy a new PC.vniow said:... you can only get it if you buy a new Mac. Older ones are out of luck since there's no (legal) way to get it seperately.

...correct me if I'm wrong.

treblah said:So far, yes. Spotlight kinda sucks. I have high hopes for Leopard though and suspect that it will put Vista's search to shame.
So, at one time I was right, right?treblah said:Nope. You can buy OEM Media Center Edition from almost any vendor without the need to buy new hardware. MS changed their 'System Builders Agreement' to allow for enthusiasts to buy it legally.
I bought MCE05 from NewEgg for my MBP.

Remember the old, old days when the first Mac came out with its icons and mouse. PC users said it was a toy, then Win95 came out with the same type GUI and Apple went after MS because it was a great interface and MS knew it..Andy said:Not pointing out Vista in particular but it's funny how in an aesthetic sense it seems to be really hard for anyone at all to copy Apple's design. Any company that trys to copy the aesthetics of the hardware or software just ends up looking and feeling like a cheapened version. It'll be interesting to see how the street version of Vista will go in this regard.
...Wrong... Windows 2 copied off of System 7, Jobs gave Bill a Macintosh to work on and "devlop" software for it, when instead all he did was steal the GUI and call it his own. Then again Apple did take it from Xerox but Xerox knew this was going on.wxboss said:Remember the old, old days when the first Mac came out with its icons and mouse.

MS is still way behind when it comes to aesthetics. Win95 thru XP were just softer, more colorful versions of the prior OS, aesthetically speaking.
