Canonical & Microsoft chasing each other's tails

[catweazel]

Last week it was revealed that Microsoft had [url=http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/06/good-ideas-catch-on-windows-8-1-to-add-unity-style-search-feature]copied Unity's search feature[/url].

This week, Unity, taking a lead from Microsoft's book of new releases (where an old release's features and functions are shuffled around and moved just enough, plus a bit of new glitz thrown in for good measure, to confuse users and force them to relearn everything so it can be called a new release), now needs [url=http://linuxg.net/canonical-wants-the-ubuntu-saucy-users-to-double-click-the-apps-in-the-unity-dash-in-order-to-open-them/]a double-click where a single-click used to be needed[/url]. However Canonical went one further and made Unity's left single-click do exactly the same as a right single-click.
