Hate to burst your bubble but Apple/Mac has copied many others.

Apploe IOS even copied... of all things, some features on the windows phone.

XP here .. prolly have to up to 7 next year when I upgrade the boxes.
Cant wait to say goodbye to electric motor driven hard drives.
Also can't wait till they figure a way to really take advantage of the 3-axis memory txfer capability a Solid State drive has.
Imagine bus speeds orders of magnitude faster 

Then ..of course .. I want my Holodeck.

I have Windows 7 at work and at home. I really enjoy it. I also didn't mind Vista - but hated XP.

Same here. Loved xp, skipped vista and w7 is just as good as xp.

I find XP far more friendly when making music.
Win 7 hates dedicated sound cards.  
  

I don't know about the music, but I notice Win 7 does not always connect a hard drive when hot plugged.I have had to go to drive manager and change the drive letter and path.

 Over all I like 7.

They choose PCs yes..... they choose Mac.... no.

Apple donated many machines to schools in hopes that the kids would like them and buy one when out of school. They just did not like them.

Their fundamental problem is that they don't understand software. If they had back in the late 80's early 90's we would be talking about how Apple  holds 90+% of the OS market, and how Microsoft was nothing more than a small footnote in OS history that turned out to be a bad idea.

Apple already sued Samsung for making an Ipad killer, clearly they made the first tablet.

Ironically I had an Apple IPad year ago, threw it on craigslist and sold to some Fanboi who thought $400 was a steal, ended up buying a samsung 10.1 with all the trimmings for $450.

Never was impressed with Ipad, to many of the good apps have big price tags, Samsung using Android everything is practically free.
Edit:
I have 32GB storage, all my work, music, videos, kid photos, family photos are on it - I simply love it. I use to lug around my laptop which barely did anything more then it. Few games? I can live without, I can work with excell and word which is all I need, watch netflick etc.
I was lucky to buy one up before ya know - apple made samsung make all the 10.1's disappear...

Ipad !

Bought one for my wife.  She wanted one.  Now it sits in a drawer.

Can't find a use for it. 
None of my family are into Facebook or Jeremy Kyle re-runs on Youtube.
I see people on the train to work reading ebooks on them.
To get your music collection on it you have to d'load itunes onto your PC.

How crap is that!

I like my comp to do what i want, how i want. Not how it thinks it should be done, in the only way it can. But hey its 'cool' and looks 'good' right?

Macs suck, selling my POS Iphone 4S as soon as possible too.

I have a true tablet here in the closet. Has a 1GB processor, RAM might be 256MB. Runs very slow though, I suppose a normal copy of XP wont run on it properly. Is  there a tablet only copy of XP or will the original work

I have owned and used most everything.  For the most part everything good at something


Windows 7 is a great operating system.  Vista was not bad after a couple of years,  the problem was it was very different from XP,  applications, drivers, and most everything else had to be rewritten to use it,  When vista came out none of that really happened.  You had all this 3rd party software that didn’t work right and made the system look worse than it was.
