    Microsoft Disowns Manager For Suggesting That A Mac OS Inspired Windows 7

    Poor Microsoft Partner Group Manager Simon Aldous. His Microsoft brethren is calling him uninformed and practically disowning him for the quotes he threw out earlier about Windows 7 basing its UI on the Mac OS.

    A post on the Windows Blog entitled " How we really designed the look and feel of Windows 7" renounces Simon's quotes with a curt, yet harsh line:

    I hate to say this about one of our own, but his comments were inaccurate and uninformed.

    Youch. That's gonna be a fun day at work tomorrow for ya, Simon. [Windows Blog]
