Just too funny..

Apple releases OS X 10.0 with Aqua (white) and suddenly the betas of XP change their skin completely from something Win2K'ish (with little blocks like the default Gnome 1.4) into the abomination known as Luna, which bears a suspicious resemblance to Aqua with its use of primary colours on the buttons and a glossy look.

Now in 2003 Apple seems to be steering more towards its brushed aluminium skin with Panther.. and suddenly the Longhorn betas switch from Luna to Slate (?) which looks even more like Apple's brushed aluminium than Luna mimics Aqua.

..and then there's a story on OSNews where Ballmer says "it's all about innovation". Please excuse me while I get stuck in a fit of maniacal laughter for the next few minutes.. just too funny. What's up with that HUGE clock anyway?
