Am I the only one who thinks that if you changed the color of the last "e" in the new logo that it would look exactly like the old Internet Explorer logo?
People tend to forget that Microsoft wasn't ALLOWED to innovate in some areas after the anti-trust trial.
Microsoft was not allowed to integrate certain software and services into their OS. They had to code them as completely separate products without direct interaction. While they still had these shackles on, Apple and Google were free to meld ANYTHING they wanted into their core products.
Seems to me that Google has built a business that is too cumbersome to maintain legally? I mean just because no one was bothering them about it previously doesnt mean tthey dont have the legal obligation to do it.
It's as if I started a landscaping business and I was dumping all the waste products in my back yard. When I run out of space and have to pay for garbage removal...it means that my business is flawed....not that they should write laws to allow me to dump it anywhere.
What you all forget is exactly how long ago Microsoft entered the PDA/Smartphone Market.
Back then, the screen technology was not advanced enough to handle finger-touches and gestures. They had to us a stylus in order to get accurate "clicks".
