But to be honest, it's more than skin deep. “Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” |

Design philosophies for Windows and OS X are quite different. <offtopic>Argubly you can apply that same quote to people skinning XP to be like Vista and do sneaky things like use Styler for a Vista like toolbar, but in the end XP's Explorer will miss all those features that make Vista's Explorer far superior.</offtopic> edit: and yes I sometimes agree with Jobs's view on design. Just not his attitude.

Nothing ever beats the real thing. Why on earth would you want to make Vista look like Leopard when you can run the real thing? insanelymac.com
