Microsoft Vista, the new Mac OS X

This may be old news, but the new Microsoft Vista operating system looks an awful lot like the Mac OS X.

There's a new system-wide search box. You know, like Spotlight. There's a search box in every window you open. You know, like Mac Finder. Using Alt-tab shows thumbmails of windows now. You know, like Cmd+tab does on OS X. And "Flip 3D" allows you to see all the open windows at once, in a consolidated view, so you can quickly pick one. You know, like Expose'.

Seems to me the best way to explain all the new features to someone would be to say, "Well, it's just like Mac OS X, but more likely to crash, because it's new."

Is it just me?

(Please, no angry email, folks. It's just an observation, not a flame war.)
