Despite being found guilty of copying the iPhone and iPad, Samsung continues to copy Apple's design.

Gizmodo points to their new S-Launcher that will be included with all their Windows 8 machines.

"Yes, it looks like Apple's own OS X dock, down to the glassy pseudo-3D tray that shows the reflection of the icons placed on it. In fact, it works just like OS X"

The S Launcher is also a launcher. Simply drag apps or files to it for easy access, tossing them off when you don't want them anymore. Nothing groundbreaking in that, but it doesn't hurt, either, and the icons are bigger than in the Windows taskbar.

What do you think? Is this another instance of Samsung ripping off Apple's design? Take a look below...

No more than NeXT/Apple copying the icon dock idea from the early 1980s from Acorn Computers...

The S Launcher is a clone of Microsoft's windows 7 start menu, and the only purpose it serves is to allow windows 7-like start menu functionality on windows 8 devices (where the start menu has been removed in favor of the much disliked "dont-call-it-metro" start screen). here is a better shot of the s launcher at work: http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/28/samsungs-s-launcher-start-menu-windows-8/ as far as the dock aspect and transparency, companies have been aping that from apple for years coughHPcough so I dont know where you have all been
