Shock! I know that most mac users will be rubbing their hands with glee toting something along the lines of “I told you so,” however for the most of us this comes as a bit of a shock.

Generally I think, as a matter of opinion, Microsoft are thought of as being a bit “aggressive” in their acquisition of software/companies/rights etc. However, I don’t think we’ve seen such a blatant rip-off recently as this icon from [Mac OSX]!! Apparently Microsoft think it’s “OK” to cut and (poorly) paste another competing companies icon without their consent into their website. Now I’m sure this will quickly disappear from the site, hence why I took a screen shot. Rest assured, it was there, for everyone to see although I don’t think we could believe it!

Yes, Microsoft took a workgroup icon from OSX and used it in a website promoting Vista! What? Like we don’t need another reason to suspect that Vista wants to be OSX? I don’t even own a Mac and I can see it..
