Looks like a classic case of “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”.

I’m a VERY biased, narrow minded, PC hater… nothing I say should be mistaken for objective criticism.

@Rick:

Is it fair to chastise Microsoft and its agency for being smart about the tools they use?

Also, to be fair, Apple’s original ideas, the mouse and the GUI were stolen from Xerox Parc. More recently Apple acknowledged they did not invent the iPod, because it benefited them in an ongoing law suit.

All knowledge is derivative, all ideas are derivative. As Isaac Newton said, “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.”

“I’m a PC,… and I haven’t had an original idea in over 10 years.”

“I’m a PC,… and I’m desperate for your attention.”
