Apple Slams Windows Vista for ‘Photocopied’ Features

Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering Bertrand Serlet pointed to the desktop search technology built into Windows Vista and compared it to the Searchlight feature in OS X 10.4 Tiger. Serlet furthermore argued that Microsoft mimicked Apple by integrating an RSS reader into its Web browser.

Apple at its annual World Wide Developers Conference has lashed out against Microsoft for copying features of Mac OS X 10.4 in the forthcoming Windows Vista operating system.

“Our friends up north spend $5 billion a year on research and development,” Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said in reference to Microsoft.

“And yet these days all they seem to be able to do is try and copy Google and Apple. So I guess it’s a good example of how money isn’t everything.”
