OS X or XPee?
« on: 2 August 2003, 06:36 »
I was debating with someone last night and the topic of Windows XP's uncanny resemblence to OS X came up. I was wondering which came out first, XP or OS X. I could have sworn that it was OS X that came out first because I remember hearing it on the radio that XP was coming out that day after my friend already had had OS X throughout the summer before that. Does anyone have any links to any sites that state when the two came out?

OSX is not all cluttered, and is way better looking. Also has more eye candy that attracts alot of users.

XP is just a nightmare.
