I know what you were trying to say and it was about as accurate as mac v. pc commercials. Yea, flat out lie...but youre really funny in that ha ha @ you way.

Big & high res tool bar that scrolls across the bottom - Check
Actual pictures of a hard drive for an icon - Check

Looks like a Panther desktop to me.
Try using GNU or Gnome sometime. OS X is a direct ripoff of Linux.

Heck,"macs" aren't even "macs" anymore. They run Linux on Intel chips.

Haha, That's my Desktop!!! :p

I used Yahoo Widgets Engine and the weather widget (which is included with the engine). I'm running Windows XP by the way. I'm using Windowsblinds to skin it and the skin I used in that pic is called 'A touch of glass', and I got it from Wincustomize


And AFAIK OSX ripped off the Widgets from Konfabulator, not the other way around.

Vista is not a ripoff and this has been said many, many times. You silly mac fans think you can just call the wheel something else and claim you invented something...

Heh. I had to do a double take. I just half glanced and thought it was a Mac desktop.

I haven't read, looked at, or listed to a single thing about Vista. It is a freaking clone of OS X.

Mindless. Drivel.

Tell me about it. I love the whole "podcast" thing. Slap the apple on an mp3 and it's some thing new and innovative :roll:
