Very True.
I'm just saying, even if all microsoft can do is imitate OSX, they're starting to do it at least somewhat decently now. For the ignorant PC user, windows 7 is the best OS ever, regardless of it's roots. And for someone to avoid windows just because of virus's is just kind of silly in my opinion. Sure there's hassle for av protection, as it takes vast amounts of system resources and time. But unless you're an idiot, or a target, there's no real need for it anyways.

I just like how consistent and elegant OS X is. Put simply, Apple knows how to make UIs correctly, and their naming scheme for just about everything is consistent as well. And they don't do it by shoving "Windows" in front of everything. Instead they use "i", which has a nice ring to it. But I digress. What makes them even more awesome is this. Apparently Apple knows what it is doing, and designs its tools to work around the principles. If you ever have messed around with something like Interface Builder, you can see the guidelines at work as the program helps you line up and position things. And it seems OS X is designed around Fitt's Law as well.
