Sometimes there's only so many ways to skin a cat, art is very much an influential process and converging ideas are common. I can dig up PRINT and INTERACTIVE magazines from the 90-00's and show you plenty of designs that have been "copied" a million times over. http://images.colinanawaty.com/screenshots/5b629b77aa8a247c38312284b0251ecc.png http://images.colinanawaty.com/screenshots/5b629b77aa8a247c3... If Kayak thinks their design is so original, maybe they should check out eBay's two column layout; filters on the left, content in the middle. Unless MS copied code and a VERYYYY unique approach to UI, this is a weak case that should be thrown out, IMO. Notice too that the screenshot in the WIRED article uses the EXACT same search data so it's even more suggestive that Microsoft copied Kayak. Controversy brings eye balls...
