Have you ever noticed the winforms default icon (that with colored rectangles)? I think it is a Piet Mondrian´s (1872-1944) piece of art. Did you hear something about that?

He should sue Microsoft Wink Can you post a link to a picture of this art piece? I've never heard anything like this (it might be a new controversial discovery @ Channel9!)

IMHO not even close. The Windows Logo is a representation of a window with differently coloured glass panes, not a bunch of squares.

"i say put more art in windows - and re-hire brian eno for the sounds in longhorn"

Agreed.

Don't forget that Microsoft acquired Mondrian back in 1986 Smiley
