Microsoft a recunoscut: Ne-am inspirat din OSX (Apple) pentr

[x6IT32]

Stiam cu totii ca Microsoft obisnuieste sa mai fure de la altii si mai ales de la Apple. Nu stiu daca si voi ati remarcat faptul ca toolbar-ul din Windows7 aducea aminte de cel de la OSX, sistemul de operare Apple. Si in trecut au mai existat astfel de dispute legate de numeroase alte lucruri. Si atunci de ce este acum un caz mai special?

Pai pentru ca un oficial Microsoft a declarat intr-un interviu:

Code:

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.     Microsoft Partner Group Manager Simon Aldous

Dupa putin timp apare si o noua declaratie data de cei de la Microsoft si afisata pe site-ul care luase interviu lui Simon Aldous. Acest nou “statement” emis de Microsoft neaga orice zvon ca design-ul Windows7 a fost inspirat de Apple.

Declaratia data de Microsoft si postata pe site-ul PCR este:

In an interview with PCR at the Microsoft Partner Network event last month, Simon Aldous, Microsoft Partner Group Manager, made reference to creating a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics with Windows 7.  Simon was incorrect in describing Windows 7 in this way and subsequent headlines claiming that the Mac OS inspired Windows 7 are totally inaccurate. Over nine out of ten computer users choose Windows.  Over the years, hundreds of millions of Windows users have given us great feedback and we have derived great insight about User Interface (UI) design. The Windows 7 UI was designed to make computers simpler to use and to take advantage of new and innovative technologies Microsoft is bringing to market.  One example of this is the multi-touch support in Windows 7, which is not supported by the Mac OS.

Unfortunately this came from a Microsoft employee who was not involved in any aspect of designing Windows 7. I hate to say this about one of our own, but his comments were inaccurate and uninformed.
