@lilserenity: "Who gives a damn? A good idea is a good idea wherever it comes from"

I agree. Paul should stop going on about "Microsoft demoed OS search before Apple" blah blah. Because, as you say "who gives a damn". So either don't mention it - or if you do, you are suggesting that MS thought of it first. So then I mention that desktop search was thought of way before MS even demoed anything. You can't have it both ways.

So fine, don't care who was first. But people like Paul do, otherwise they wouldn't always come up with "demoed by MS before Apple". Double standards.

Just in case anyone cares, Rafael has added a note early in his post pointing out that what his technique enables is an older and largely not working form of the taskbar, NOT what was shown in demos at PDC.

One should avoid drawing any conclusions from it. The public beta early in 2009 will be much more worthy of comment (and useless sidetracks into Apple and politics)

Oops, forgot to thank Paul for the 7 Wallpaper. Thanks dude! Even the kids like it [for Daddy of course, as my favorite color is blue].

I still kinda like the start menu better than the dock, but it's a personal preference. I used an OS 9 program called Conceptual Menu [I think that was the name of it] to act like the Windows start menu. But the question remains.... will I be able to use it on my $400 Vista SP1 laptop? :)

robertsjoe,

Who gives a damn? A good idea is a good idea wherever it comes from. Otherwise you could only ever have one type of camera, because you couldn't copy the premise of taking a picture. You could never have an more than one type and make of automatic washing machine. One type of vacuum cleaner. One type of petrol motor car.

Rubbish. All around us are examples of where an idea originated somewhere, and was then taken by a competitor in its basic sense and 'improved' or 'refined' in some manner, and so the competitive capitalist cycle goes on and on.

So I'm not a Microsoft fangirl, but I will say that the Dock ahnd this are similar and that's potentially a bad thing as the Dock is hideous user interface item which combines too many disparate things in an awkward manner.

I'm also an Apple user and sadly it's fanatacism and childish 'go on admit it admit it' that makes me hang my head in shame. I also do the same when I see the same religious zeal from MS and Linux fans. It's pointless primate pecking ordering.

Get over it, someone once wrote a diary and journal as a web page and it became known as the blog but no one cares who was first. I get no satisfaction from using something because it had it first, I get satisfaction from the tool that gets the job done most effectively but I'm old enough, wise enough and likely ugly enough to know that what works for me doesn't work for everyone.
