Windows Vista, Gnome and Looking Glass called....
 

...geez!!! Talk about stealing ideas.

I just bought a new laptop, which came defective out of the box with Windows Vista. Guess Windows graphic designers they all have Linux, because my God does this crap look like Gnome. There are also other features that Looking Glass, the Sun Microsystems 3D desktop that was put on the back burner a couple years ago. had incorporated into the desktop.

From the disk operated system, to windowing, to the mouse, and now to the GUI, can't Microsoft come up with something original?
Hopefully they have not seen Novell's XGL/Compiz effort.
