They’ve changed it to a picture of a CD now; I totally noticed it too.

Adam, I’ve been kind of saying that for a couple of years now – if Redmond doesn’t start using Linux, or another *nix, kernel – maybe with a “Windows” desktop (does that sound something like an idea that recently came out of Cupertino?) – pretty soon, they’re going to start having problems.

I’m no legal expert, but doesn’t putting a Windows logo on this system assert that it’s Microsoft proprietary information? And doesn’t that break the GPL on every piece of software used?

You mean Windows isn’t based in Linux? Well it should be!

I’ve seen a few other bloggers complain about it, but really, its a moot point. Have you noticed that the other big images next to the selections are not of the ACTUAL PRODUCT and are just representations? The Windows logo is a fine symbol for the OS options, even if Linux is the only choice.

There’s some things we should take personally and something things we shouldn’t. For everything else…there’s Mastercard.
