This is a pathetic attempt, that I can quite see from Microsoft. Microsoft copies everything from Apple, the GUI, Mac OS X, iMovie, and so many other examples. And now they launch almost identical ads.

The GUI was actually originally copied from Xerox. They created the first GUI. Apple copied them. Microsoft copied Apple in copying Xerox.

The difference is the Xerox was just a proof-of-concept at the PARC (Palto Alto Research Center). A lot of good technology has come from there. Think of it as the think-tank of the computer world.
