| disolitude said: Microsoft (Bill Gates) didn't steal anything from Apple. Both stole the desktop GUI and mouse ideas from Xerox. You can argue that over time, Bill Gates stole things from Unix, but apple? Not really. I ran in to a few opinions similar to yours which is fair. You don;t like metro and that's fine... However I find it somewhat puzzling that you are giving microsoft crap for trying something new in the same statement while accusing them of stealing ideas from other companies and not being original. |
Huh, I didn't know about that Xerox thing. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
Well, I'm not trying to shit on MS for being innovative, I mean, windows phone is fine and all, but I don't like the idea of throwing Metro at my face on a desktop computer. That's just plain mean to say at least. Metro for desktops just doesn't make much sense in my eyes. At least not yet, who knows, maybe in coming years they will apply some fixes here and there and it will be alright. For now, I'll just stick with good old desktop interface. However, I imagine them inventing something else for big, non-touchscreen displays eventually.
