Let's see that's true.
Computers used:
J T Monka's (my mothers) laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium on it.
K Monka's (my sisters) desktop with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on it.
Theme Admin:
In Vista, you can administer your theme's simply by choosing your theme.
In Ubuntu, you can do that too, choose your favourite theme.
But, is this a rip-off?
No!
Because, in Vista, there is a drop down menu, in Ubuntu, it's not.
Not the same thing at all.
Theme colour:
In Vista, you can choose your favourite colour for your theme.
In Ubuntu, there's also a kind of thing.
But, is this a rip-off?
No!
In Vista, you can change the colour for the Aero theme only, while in Ubuntu, the whole theme will be changed.
Same theme, another theme, not the same!
Flip Menu:
In Vista, there's a Flip3D effect, using the Windows-button+TAB.
In Ubuntu, there's also a Flip menu.
But, is this a rip-off?
No!
In Vista, you can activate it with Windows-button+TAB, in Ubuntu, it's Alt+TAB.
Not the same!
Main menu:
In Vista, you have the classic Start Menu, but diffrent from XP.
In Ubuntu, of course, there's that kind of menu too.But, is this a rip-off?
No!
Because, in Vista, it's in the lower corner, in Ubuntu, it's in the top corner.
It's not the same thing!
Account managing:
In Vista, you can create Standard accounts or Administrator accounts, with avaters, passwords, etc.
In Ubuntu, there's also such things, but you need to unlock it.But, is this a rip-off?
No!
In Vista, you can set up avaters, in Ubuntu not.
Not the same!
Instalation:
In Vista, you can run the setup to install new applications.
In Ubuntu, you can do this on 3 ways:FILENAME.deb, Application Installer and sudo apt-get install APPNAME.
So you know, not the same!
Solidare:
In Windows, there's a tradition to do this game, it's the most played game ever.
In Ubuntu and Xubuntu, there's a GNOME Solidare, in Kubuntu a KDE Solidare.
But, is this a rip-off?
No!
In Vista, it is 3D, in GNOME, it's cartoonish, in KDE, it has 3D effects.
Not the same!
Well, what have we learned today?
Windows Vista did not steal ideas from Linux.
Microsoft did this all his own.
L for Vista!
