This weeks _Time_ magazine (April 4, 1988) has an article on this subject
on page 60.

Inset are photos of the mac screen and a windows screen.

The windows screen makes more effective use of colour on it's borders, bars,
titles and gadgets, while the mac window is very plain belieing its monochrome
heritage.

I would say the little scroll arrow things in the corners are *similar*
but not identical.

The little page icons though do look identical, but how many ways can you
exactly express an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper with a notch turned down ?

The other point I'd like to make about this is if you talk to noncomputer
people about it, a lot of them say: "I thought one of the things you
computer types wanted to do is make 'em all look the same so if you
go to another computer you still know how to use it ?" (paraphrased)
