I don't see any similarities at all. Maybe they did borrow some stuff. They borrowed some stuff from Windows 7 as well (the window snapping). I don't see anything wrong with it. This is the most beautiful desktop environment I've ever seen, although I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

  Neither the dock or launch bar were invented by Apple (both have history in NextOS/Openstep)

    both have history in NextOS/Openstep But OS X basically is NextOS isn't it?

      Well I think the history is more complicated then that, but yes, OS X has some code and ideas from NextOS/Openstep.
