I have, and I honestly have no idea why you think MS is ripping off the Finder.

If it's so obvious, why is it so difficult for you to say it?

[St Leo]

Agathon is saying that Microsoft is ripping off Finder's Brushed Metal appearance.

Two points...

One, I'm glad to see that Aggie has a folder devoted to me on his desktop. I love you, too.

Two, use of random Chinese characters for decorative purposes is ****ing gay. Do you laugh at hilarious Engrish phrases? If so, please understand that you're doing the same thing...

1. That's not brushed metal
2. What's being seen in the screenshots has been repeatedly and clearly labeled as placeholders. What he's referring to is called "Plex" is will not be part of a shipping Longhorn system.

The current screenshots are of Plex on GDI+.
Longhorn will ship with Aero on Avalon.

I don't understand what it says, but it looks ****ing cool. That's all I really care about.

I do laugh at Engrish, but only insofar that I know what it means.

Are you saying the characters in the picture are poor Chinese?

[Drake Tungsten]

Wouldn't you consider random English words displayed on a desktop to be poor English?

[Asher]

By the way, the desktop pic was a takeoff of The Matrix.

You don't see me throwing a hissy fit because the 0s and 1s in The Matrix don't make any sense.

[Drake Tungsten]

I don't see anyone throwing a hissy fit.

No, because they are obviously not intended to be a sentence or in prose. It becomes art at that point.

I see somebody objecting to it and calling it "****ing gay".

As far as I care that's a hissy fit, seeing as it doesn't concern you at all, yet you still felt the need to object to it.
