is the disregard for copyright considerations. "If you know the author [of this picture that I've used for my logo], let me know"? And maybe I'm wrong, but a few of those trees look like they were planted by the Warcraft II map editor.
It's another example of Windows taking too much control, when letting the user decide would be more appropriate. Plus, computing a "signature" to determine which files are identical sounds like the OS can't even be sure that two files are identical before destroying one of them in favor of a link! Let the user or program that creates the files decide!
I wish companies that declare themselves to have arbitrary authority weren't able to keep people (and themselves) fooled for so long. Sort of like Nintendo, whose "policy" it is that emulators are illegal. At least RIAA is kind enough to let us wayward consumers hang onto our immoral MP3 technology for a while.
