If you haven’t read my other post about Microsoft copying the Ubuntu logo, go read it. Because I’ve recently discovered that their website reads:

“Microsoft is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and or other countries. Microsoft Alumni Network is not affiliated with Microsoft Corporation.”

Notice that they say Microsoft Alumni Network is not affiliated with Microsoft Corporation, then why they even bother to put Microsoft in their name? To confuse people that Microsoft ’stole’ the logo?

Even a user on digg posted that the universal binary logo:

is much like what Microsoft copied:

We know that sometimes Microsoft copies things (logos), and even though Microsoft Alumni Network is not affiliated with Microsoft Corporation, people tend to think it’s Microsoft’s fault. It’s not. And don’t get me started talking about Microsoft. At last, -no, this blog is not affiliated with Microsoft Corporation, and I am still planning to switch to a Mac.
