TK, I'm a long time Apple user, and I'm very familiar with their interfaces and menu systems.
What I saw in the link of the Skyrim interface is nothing like anything that has come out of Cupertino. If anything, it looks just like the menu system in Infinity Blade. That is a clunky menu interface and just about my only pet peeve about that game. Eye candy, is all it is. And I suspect Skyrim is about the same.
Menus and interfaces should be simple in design, simple to use, and simple to learn (then forget about, as it becomes so automatic). Apple has that down cold. I have yet to see anything else that comes close.
Superficially, I suppose it works like the iOS on the Apple devices. But even those are smooth and easy to use, and so intuitive. Based on what I've read so far, and the screenshots I've seen, looks like Beth didn't even come close to missing the boat - they missed the anchors aweigh too.
