    It's not the same story. They came from different departments. (from the working-together-to-make-the-internet-better dept. vs from the icons-are-power dept.)

    In typical Microsoft style, they'll probably change a few pixels making their version of the logo completely incompatible with the industry standard logo.

      Or worse, they will slowly change it pixel by pixel until one day it resembles a small goatse.

    I think I'll run an experiment. I'll submit a story to Slashdot and link to an identical story previously posted on Slashdot. The dupes will compond to make a MEGADUPE.

    Either that or Taco won't post anything for a week while trying to figure out if it's a dupe or not.
