From an interview in PCR:
One of the things that people say an awful lot about the Apple Mac is that the OS is fantastic, that it’s very graphical and easy to use. What we’ve tried to do with Windows 7 – whether it’s traditional format or in a touch format – is create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics. We’ve significantly improved the graphical user interface, but it’s built on that very stable core Vista technology, which is far more stable than the current Mac platform, for instance.
Now, I know lots of people have reported on this by now, but it’s worth repeating. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Of course Apple has borrowed ideas from Windows too on occasion, although usually they are features that people have come to expect, rather than the whole look and feel.
Still though, you have to admire the gaul of the guy to say: “it’s built on that very stable core Vista technology, which is far more stable than the current Mac platform”. Vista more stable than the mac? Really?
[UPDATE] Apparently they’re now denying it.
