M$ has probably patented the square as their property, the windows in your house as their own and the colours red, yellow, green and blue as their own.

!!!Creating any images or objects which look close to or use elements of the above may result in $1,000,000 fines.!!!

p.s This logo was created with Microsoft Paint.

Hating on a company run by sweaty armpits Steve Ballmer. Didn't want to ditch Windows OS to go channel all of M$ fortunes into Bing.

Really evil_element? Clearly you are missing the fact that we have evolved into a minimalist period. Gone are glossy bezelled images and buttons. Assuming your statement about patents is ever true, I wouldn't blame them because Apple might beat them to it if they got a chance.

Now representing their Neanderthalian metro design; random squares and rectangles mashed into a solid object. Probably the biggest step backwards in P.C. UI design ever, having a menu dedicated to tablets also be a part of the PC version of the OS.
