Wooho.. I came across this blog post by a fellow DPer, did you guys notice something similar in your Live Hotmail ? http://www.maneelgrover.com/2007/09/08/what-a-mess-ms/
haha i honestly cant beleive someone at microsoft didint notice that. i mean adverts from them probably have to be checked over by a dozen people and ok'd before they go live (both on and offline) so how microsoft missed such an easy mistake i dont know. i mean id certainly notice if my logo was upside down or not!
Someone should have noticed the source code before hackers started stripping Windows, right ? Well, here's more proof for you.
Someone at Microsoft likes to hide little alterations in their work and hope that nobody finds them. I really don't see what the big deal is. Windows OS's have had things like this for years. Programmers and graphic designers get bored sometimes and they like to fool around with their work. The only difference between this and the Google logo changes is Google sanctions their alterations.
This is not as bad as in Office 2000 I believe where their programmers hid min racing games in MS Excel lol
