To the people that are whining again over Windows 7 copying OSX's dock:
- look at how the Dock copied the Taskbar in the first place. OS Classic users need to think what they had before that.
- the simple fact that 7’s taskbar has only 3 things in common with the Dock:
- the use of icons instead of descriptions, which is inevitable for multitaskers and makes sense in a touch enabled OS.
- the ability to reorder things, which was a longtime request of users
- the ability to mix launchers with instance switching. Launchers such as the Dock's stacks existed in Windows since the shell 95
And the reason I'm bitching about this, is that now that the macsexuals have started bitching, I'm bound to hear shit like : "Why do you use a copycat OS ?" AGAIN.
Thing is, OSX has systematically ripped off every bit of Windows they found interesting, JUST like Microsoft has.
