What If Gmail Had Been Designed by Microsoft?

Wow. I love GMail and its clean interface and dislike the look of Hotmail when I see Sarah open it.
[W]hat if Microsoft, not Google, had created Gmail? What would be the differences in that web mail client for users today? What if we apply some of the same design rules that brought us Hotmail, for instance?
Go read the rest. Vicious. Just like the iPod packaging by Microsoft.

Seriously? You explore the LOOK of an email program? It never even OCCURED to me. This is probably why you think 2001 was a good movie, too. :p

I didn't explore it, I just linked to it. 2001 is a good movie, visually. I design software for a living, this is the kind of thing I like to see.

OMG, this article is hilarious LOL. It remembers me that wonderful video about what would happen if iPod was marketed by Microsoft (http://www.weshow.com/us/p/21400/microsoft_designs_the_ipod). Soooo nice! I can't understand why some people prefer Hotmail... its just horrible. Gmail is much better!
