Haha, they did. I've always been a Mac person but just couldn't afford to replace my 2001-ish iBook, so went with a new Windows 7 laptop, and I was like........it's pretty obvious about the copying.
In the nicest possible way, it's probably telling that a lot of Mac owners will care about this and make a big deal of any Microsoft gaffe they can lay hands on, whereas a lot of PC owners will continue not caring about Mac.
Because Apple people are smug and like to pass around proof of their product's superiority.
Whereas things like this and like this go largely unnoticed, cause Windows people are secure enough not to care. It's like the fact that New Zealanders are very focussed on Australia, while Australians barely remember New Zealand exists.
{Just a quick note: assume that the above is delivered in a jocular tone of voice. I enjoy chipping in on the PC's side when faced with smug Mac owners, but I in no way want my text to come off as hostile or mean. I'm having a laugh and, if anything I say sounds nasty, I didn't mean it that way.}
