Submission + - Apple copies Microsoft, for a change (wired.com)
Banaticus writes: We've heard before that Windows releases tend to have a surprising degree of similarity to existing Apple OSX designs. In a reversal of that trend, the upcoming Apple OSX (Snow Leopard), appears to have a number of new features similar to what current Windows versions already offer. Among these are the ability to restore files from the trash, a Movie editor that comes as part of the basic software (although, the new Apple Quicktime movie editor will likely allow editing of Quicktime movies, which Apple refused to allow Windows to license in the Windows Movie Editor), and 64-bit support for all basic OS functions with the option to open applications in 32-bit mode. Regarding clickable Stacks on the Apple, or an improved Aero-based taskbar, it remains to be seen whether customers will first see this in the next OSX version or the next Windows version.
