abhgh | on: Oldest GUI application that still runs on Windows 11
I loved Windows Aero and the flip 3D view - the latter mostly because it looked so cool for that time!

Oh you mean "ripping off compiz"?

I just learned that X Window System came out a year before the first Windows release. Interesting. Thanks for pointing out the compiz ripoff. It spurred me to look up the original release dates.

... which is "ripping off OSX". But you don't want to hear that, do you?

UX being copied by OSes from each other is a good thing.

Lol. Check when linux had multiple desktops and when osx had them.

If you're a tachyon I guess linux is ripping off osx :)
