Sorry to tell you ph, but I have used Vista, it's a porr copy of OS X. Right down to it's "Aero" interface. You know, all that transparency, high res icons, dimensionality to the interface bars... omg, even the glossy look of it! That's ALL OS X from 4 yrs ago.
Your system search, photo app, and application stack... straight from OSX (although, I will give you the nifty visual for the app stack is slightly original if not counter-intuitive).
The previews on your task bar... that's a rip too. Except here, they just didn't go far enough to make it as good as the Dock, which scales with additional apps, gives you a convenient launching pad for your most used apps, and has real-time screenshots for minimized apps that can scale as well and show playing content.
OMG, been there for like SIX years now. Stop breathing in the Bill Gates forgetful dust. Almost nothing in Vista is innovative or original and next to nothing is in there that wasn't in OS X years ago.
Can someone say "copying is the sincerest form of flattery"?
LOL... OS X is based on BSD and FreeBSD for its kernel, not for it's GUI. And, it has NEVER been denied. In point of fact, on the OS X product page it explicitly calls out the OSes "Unix foundations".
As for the GUI that is Mac OS X, that is a continuation of NeXT and BeOS. NeXT being the software that Steve Jobs was working on while he was not with Apple in the mid-90s.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"

because vista is essentially still running NT which was created nearly a decade ago.
You should probably also know that OSX was nearly a pure rip off of BSD itself, so your argument pretty much goes right out the door.
But it's like you said, "copying is the sincerest form of flattery."

Please don't speak from ignorance.
