I think Apple might have patented the square shape.

I dig it, and it's about damn time as well.

The rebranding must have cost them a fortune!

this just does not seem like a good enough logo for a company of the size of MS

I wonder how much it cost them to design four coloured squares and put "Microsoft" in Segoe WP font......

PS I do not like the design.... If it was me I would have had the space between each adjacent square large and the font closer like this:

No. That would be the RECTANGLE. Though, I guess a square is technically a rectangle, so..... Microsoft's screwed. :twisted:
