Windows 7: Windows in Mac Clothing

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. We've significantly improved the graphical user interface, but it's built on that very stable core Vista technology, which is far more stable than the current Mac platform, for instance.

I'm trying to work whether Microsoft would be peeved with these comments or not!
