During yesterday the Microsoft manager responsible for group partners in the company, Simon Aldous , gave London conference and the publication PCR used the occasion to make short interview.
It talks about everything a bit, also from Windows 7 and Office 2010 (how could it be otherwise), evolving conversation in a normal tone. Acknowledges past failures and also made flowers, until in one of the questions related to the new operating system from Redmond her tongue goes and declares :
One of the things that people repeat about Macs is the OS is fantastic, very graphic and easy to use. What we tried to do with Windows 7, whether traditional or tactile format is to create a “ Mac look and feel ” about graphic terms .

I believe that when he began to answer was not given much consideration to what I was saying and then at the end he realized his words and tried to fix.
In any case it is clear that this is only a simple response to an interview by a director and no more weight than that . On the other hand, it is logical that the larger companies closely examine the good and bad of the main competitors, see what’s working and try to overcome it.
Now, if this reaches the ears of Uncle Ballmer, prepare .
Simon
Update: Brandon LeBlanc , who updated the official blog of Windows responded to statements by Aldous in a very curt: “I hate to say this one of ours, but his comments were inaccurate and uninformed. “
