Comment on "The Strange Parallel Reality of Vista"

lne said: Although extremely similar, it's not Myriad. It's an Microsoft-developed font called Segoe UI.

Actually, before I posted at all, I brought the "OneCare Live" graphic into Photoshop and verified that Myriad overlaid correctly on it. It was a perfect match, with the exception of a few microns being off due to compression, anti-aliasing, etc.

Perhaps just these letters are identical, or perhaps Vista uses the new font and OneCare doesn't. Either way, we're obviously splitting hairs.

Ben said: Microsoft is blatently copying from Apple with its UI designs and methodology it's a huge complement

The copying doesn't bother me (in truth, none of it really bothers me), it's just all of the Microsoft talk that tries to make it sound like they were the first to do this.
