Microsoft created a secret Windows XP thing that made-up the operating system squinch more like a Mac. A recent Windows XP source cryptograph leak has revealed Microsoft's early assignment on the operating system and some unreleased topics the congregation created during its early XP development inadvertently in 2000.

One is labeled "Candy" and includes a fabricating that closely resembles Apple's Aqua interface that was first introduced at the Macworld Re-cap & Bazaar in 2000. Although the thing is incomplete, the Windows XP Start chin and assorted buttons and UI elements are soundly themed to match Apple's Aqua.

Microsoft never released its Aqua thing for Windows XP, and we winnow it was acclimated in early source cryptograph for the OS.

Microsoft glaringly shuffled to a grief-stricken and unconversant Luna thing for the final adaptation of XP, which profuse dubbed Fisher Price-esque when the OS was originally released in 2001.
