Looks good. Have recently jumped ship from Gmail to the new Outlook and prefer the look there. Plus I prefer having folders rather than the star system.

Still undecided about Windows 8 though

Unrelated, but on Gmail you use labels instead of folders. The stars are for something else.

Oh yeah, labels, that was what I mean't to say... :)

Anyway, the new logo looks good.

Not bad, it is amazing how the most simplest of logos seem to be the best.

Did they find it at a Telecom garage sale?

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

I don't think it is that well thought out, especally as the windows logo has been using those same 4 colours for the best part of 20 years. It looks like that have just taken a simplified windows logo.

Geez, I wonder how many millions they paid someone to come up with that?

I like the Telecom comparison :-)

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

The thing is that telecom ditched their one as it was dated, so were they ahead of their time? I am sure they paid a lot for their's too. They haven't advertised the 'Surface' in that ad either . It is all quite confused.

Hopefully the simplified logo means they are focusing their efforts into other areas which really matter.

Dreams are free right?

Am I missing something? There has been multiple Windows logos in the past 25 years :-S

doesn't really look much different to me - but then I haven't used a Microsoft product in a number of years so working off a fading memory.
