But it IS Windows. They can't make it like OSX, cause 95% of the computer using people in the world would say "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED???, What the hell is this crap?"

They have chosen a set way to do the desktop, and whilst they can evolve it, they can't throw it away and start new, there is too much inertia there.

If they copied OSX the iFans would be disgusted and sit around smugly saying "we had that first". If they carry on along the Windows development line the iFans will say "OMG it's still windows".

Meanwhile the Linux users are writing blog posts about how 2012 will be "The year of the Linux Desktop" , yet they'll be making the same points they made 5 years ago.

And all the while, Windows will keep its 90% market share.
