Apple might agree that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but
Microsoft has slammed suggestions that its Windows 7 operating system
was inspired by Mac OS X.

Microsoft's UK partner group manager Simon Aldous reportedly said that
the software giant had effectively created “a Mac look and feel in
terms of graphics” in its Windows 7 operating system, which landed on
retail shelves late last month.

However Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc slammed Aldous for his ill-
considered and “inaccurate” Windows 7 splutterfest....

We at Vulture Towers interpret Microsoft's latest PR fiasco thusly: no
shit Sherlock, Windows 7 apes Mac OS X. ®

Yup, the trolls are getting desperate. As it is written,

If anyone does anything which will interfere with the troll's ability to
cause mayhem, they also forge posts in that persons name and internet
address and libel them on Usenet. Both these are illegal.
