[E-devel] Micrsoft Longhorn related to E17?

[unknown u. <se...@ho...>]

From what i see in the movies and the screens of it, it looks like Microsoft 
is copying the interface design of E17, along with a few OSX like special 
effects.

Microsoft is calling this the "shelf"

IT looks very familiar to E17

yet the way it acts in terms of eye candy, its alot like OSX.

So its clear, Microsoft does not do any R&D, they just look and see what 
everyone else is doing, and they of course try to copy it.
