Can anyone provide some specific examples of how this is a "copy" of OSX? I am someone who sparsely used Os X and is admittedly anti-Apple. I'm trying hard not to assume the people in the thread saying it's a copy are more than just Apple zealots but it's difficult when no one provides any evidence. |

1 login screen has a picture of a galaxy.
2 windows are white-themed, with rounded corners, and minimalistic buttons/scrollbars.
3 music player is reminiscent of iTunes with time bar and track info top-and-center, and large album art pane.
4 system settings window has radio-buttons-like-normal-buttons reminiscent of OSX system settings. Also has a search bar in the upper-right of the window, with minimalistic magnifying glass.
5 windows have no visual border on sides and bottom.
6 Dock.
7 Expose-style viewing of all windows.
8 top-of-screen menu, with system icons in upper-right.
As I said in a previous comment, Apple didn't invent many of these, if any. Many, perhaps all, of these points are simply good design. However, they all combine to make the GUI "feel" like OSX to me.
Furthermore, it isn't a "copy." You can certainly identify as many differences as similarities. It simply shares a certain design aesthetic.
The galaxy login pic at the beginning didn't help :P
