cremou brulee writes "Redmond's photocopiers have been unusually busy for the last couple of years, with the result that Windows 7 copies a lots of Mac OS X features. First and foremost among these is the Dock, which has been unceremoniously ripped off in Windows 7's new Taskbar. Or has it? Ars Technica has taken an in-depth look at the history and evolution of the Taskbar, and shows just how MS arrived at the Windows 7 "Superbar". The differences between the Superbar and the Dock are analyzed in detail. The surprising conclusion? "Ultimately, the new Taskbar is not Mac-like in any important way, and only the most facile of analyses would claim that it is.""
