Vista, Mac OS X Clone?
H_TeXMeX_H:
Good news indeed ... IBM not buying into Vista ... no one else should either.

--- Quote --- IBM has cancelled their contract with Microsoft as of October this year. That means that IBM will not use Windows Vista for their desktops. Beginning from July, IBM employees will begin using IBM Workplace on their new, Red Hat-based platform. Not all at once - some will keep using their present Windows versions for a while. But none will upgrade to Vista. Good for them!

REALLY?! Awesome, it's about goddamn time, took em 18 years to wean off of the piece of shit and get back at Microshit. They sure were talkin enough smack on their websites about GNU/Linux being better... hope this is a trend, corporate Microsoft software wars survivors first, than everyone else.:thumbup:

Found it.
That would be something if IBM were the stone that topple Microsoft, that broke the dam. The irony is so THICK you can choke on it. They made them and it looks like they'll be breaking them... :D
I smell games, BIG BUDGET ones for *NIX baby!!! OH RAH!!

--- Quote from: back4hack ---I see they've stolen the interface to make it look like OS X but what I would love to know is does the operating system itself now sport an operating system built on open source or does it still have an underlying shitty ntoskrnl?

I fail to see how making things transparent and more high-res make it a copy of OSX. What were they supposed to do, make it look uglier? For that, they could have copied KDE or Gnome.
And about the kernel, the kernel is one of the major strengths of NT. The crap piled onto it are the cause all of the issues.

GTK+ 1 was pretty ugly. But thankfully I didn't have to wait until 2006 for GTK+ 2 (or Xgl and all that crack).
EDIT: and FFS XP's luna fucking thing is the ugliest since I dunno when. Why are people given that in 2006?
