Once Again, Microsoft Copies Apple Design

Windows: a history of imitation

With iOS and Lion, Apple made a step towards a new user interface design: monochromatic icons. The low color, high contrast icons are easy to see, and look fresh and clean. Soneone at Microsoft must have liked the idea too, because the've decided to copy Apple (again) and do the same thing. 

They even went so far as to make the settings shortcut a gear, like the one that has been in Mac OS and iOS for years. After seeing the horrible design choice for the Explorer, one has to wonder, does Microsoft have a single create employee?
