Microsoft stealing from ubuntu?

[foulplay]

I recently noticed this: http://spaces.msn.com/ Am I the only one that icon looks strikingly familiar to?

I hope this is the right section...

That circle does look hauntingly familiar. I hope they didn't steal the idea.

Microsoft steals all the time.. and then they lie about it if they get caught (remember them getting caught faking evidence in federal court?). Stealing, lying and FUD are standard procedure for Microsoft, which is why I will never use any of their products.. also the reason why they, and their products, can never be trusted.
