New headline suggestion: "Apple Copies Microsoft Design Ideas"? Just kidding! Associating a color with each product in your lineup is an old practice.
- Maarten88 13y agoClearly Microsoft has started this trend toward flat design and away from skeuomorphic design. Mcrosoft calls this authenticly digital" in their talks and documentation on the metro design language [1]. It's funny that blogs and articles about this upcoming change never even mention Microsoft or Metro. Apple copying Microsoft creates cognitive dissonance [2], it is counter to the strong belief that Apple is the industry leader in design.
