Hi Josh, I know it is quite sad that Mac OS has had many of the features Microsoft is just now getting to in Windows 7 and Windows 8. It goes to show that Microsoft has been caught up in Windows XP far too long, and now Microsoft is far behind the competition in terms of features. They are just now getting to features Mac OS has had for five or more years, and it is clear that Windows 8 is really Microsoft's attempt to catch up.
For what it is worth Linux has come a long ways as well the last couple of years and Ubuntu has tried to become more Mac-like with their Unity desktop. Many of the features present in Mac OS and Windows 8 are showing up on the Unity desktop. For example the Dash allows users to search and run programs just by pressing the super key, AKA the Windows key, and then typing in the name of a file or program to run. The Launcher is a bit like the Task bar which allows users to lock favorites to the Launcher instead of searching for them in the Dash. There is no doubt though in anyone's mind where all these new ideas came from and they all came from Apple. So I too have to laugh a bit at other operating systems, because they are so far behind Apple and its clear that Apple is the big innovator today. Its one of the major factors why my wife and I are looking into switching to Apple when we have the money to invest in new laptops in the next couple of years or so. Cheers!
