Linux or Apple will beat Microsoft to the release and claim they copied i'll bet anything on it.
I totally agree.
As a matter of fact, instant search was first discovered by microsoft during longorn. Apple then beat microsoft to it and shipped what they call 'spotlight', the instant search feature for Mac, in Tiger OSX. When vista Vista came years leater with instant search built in, the entire world said microsoft stole the idea from apple.
get this: other third parties had made instant search tools for XP after microsoft discovered it, such as
Google's desktop search. When vista came with instant search, microsoft was forced to work with third parties to provide API's to allow them for users to replace the built in windows search with some other third party instant search engine.
No other company in the world has to work with third parties like microsoft does. Poor microsoft!

. If not for them, Windows would have built in Antivirus today! Microsoft even has to work with PC manufactures to make sure thier PC's ship vista in it's optimal state!
