The attempts to resolve cognitive dissonance by fanboys is a sight to behold. I'm not sure why people can't say "I prefer Apple, but iOS 9's split screen multitasking implementation is the same as Microsoft's from years ago". Rather than "It's not the same at all, because it's not about the feature, it's about how the feature is implemented" and all of these similar un-attackable arguments.
- MCRed 11y agoYou do realize there are multiple ways to implement a feature, right? And if you want to talk about having two windows on a screen at once, that feature didn't originate on the surface, but on the 1984 Macintosh (with overlapping windows) and before that at Xerox (where Apple licensed some of the technology.)
