      OK, I know MS seems intent on copying Apple in any way they can short of being sued, but this is just... sad.

      BOOOOOO Microsoft!

      You know, I have a black Apple Shirt (black shirt a with white Apple logo in the center) and I'm gonna walk into that store with a MacBook Pro, and see what happens.

      hmmm.. Boot Camp?! Last I checked MS doesn't make actual computers (laptops/desktops) so I'm not sure why this is a 'fail', even if it is true.

      But it's probably a photoshop.

      Let's just say for the sake of argument that the photo's real.

      Yes, Microsoft doesn't make computers, but you still don't see the fail in that?

      They will likely greet you as you walk in the door and then help you find whatever products you might be looking for. :confused:

      Right, but it's the irony because I have a shirt with a Apple logo on which, theoretically Apple and Microsoft are competitors in a way.

      Just had a goo at Win7, same story. Copied the dock, copied spotlight,etc. They just have no originality.
