“One of the things that people say an awful lot about the Apple Mac is that the OS is fantastic, that it’s very graphical and easy to use,” Aldous said. “What we’ve tried to do with Windows 7 — whether it’s traditional format or in a touch format — is create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics. We’ve significantly improved the graphical user interface, but it’s built on that very stable core Vista technology, which is far more stable than the current Mac platform, for instance.“
Now, Mr. Simon Aldous, you have to explain what do you exactly mean with “far more stable”.
Seriously, are you sure that Microsoft didn’t give a pirated copy of OS 8? In that case, you’re right.
Maybe.

Only Windows 7 ???
Excuse me, but throughout the whole history of the evolution of Windows’s interface, one can clearly see that there has been some influence/ inspiration coming from the Mac OS GUI, which itself has been inspired from Xerox’s but anyway, Microsoft’s interface designers have always been trying to mimic the interface of Mac OS.

Yeah, that just is what Windows always has been and still is: a Mac-imitation GUI of an operating system that operates another operating system (DOS). (My, no wonder they never get it simple and working!)
Thing that Microsoft refused to do is starting all over from scratch.
