Microsoft has responded to comments by a manager suggesting that Windows 7 tries to create a Mac look and feel.
In an interview with PCR, Microsoft partner group manager Simon Aldous said, "One of the things that people say an awful lot about the Apple Mac is that the OS is fantastic, that it's very graphical and easy to use. What we’ve tried to do with Windows 7 -- whether it's traditional format or in a touch format -- is create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics."
Microsoft has responded on the official Microsoft blog flatly rebuking the employee.
"Unfortunately this came from a Microsoft employee who was not involved in any aspect of designing Windows 7," Brandon LeBlanc said. "I hate to say this about one of our own, but his comments were inaccurate and uninformed."
