apple vs. microsoft the death match....

ok... so the title is WAY over the to but basically yesterday my dad looked into buying a mac... which is weird cuz we both luv our PC's... with windows... so we were looking and the widows homepage has almost the same layout as the mac layout..... that apple made first.... so.... why is microsoft taking the ideas from a smaller company? like apple??? hmmm....? Here is the windows Vista main page and Here is the Apple Mac OS X webpage did you see the top nav bar? simularities? yep. for once in my life i am actually saying that apple could be better... did you see their main page christmas thing? hilarious! plus you can watch the guided tour so much easier on the mac then on the windows... this from the only pc buying family... plus the new vista is supposed to be REALLY slow...
