Actually the duck was included with OS9. It was one of the icons you could use for the multiple users feature. The MS version of that (the login screen), where they are using the picture of the rubber duck, looks *very* similar to the OS9 multiple user screen.
Is it any coincindence considering how many ex-Apple employees Microsoft has hired? Or that fact that in some circles at Microsoft, Apple is referred to, internally as "R&D south"?:-)
