Simon Veteran Posted December 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 13, 2005 Although it's unlikely this would work, does someone want to start an online petition? I'm really bad at that, so I won't.

C.B.Slemp Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 CONGRATULATIONS!! This means your work is considered important and consequential enough for the lawyers at MS to be concerned about. Its really quite a complement. You're like M. Yamaguchi now--shut down by the big boys!!

EddieZ Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Consider it an honour to be removed on MS request... Sort of the same thing happened to (now known as) Bink.nu. He got a nice set of MS credentials (MSVP etc). So no more worries for a summerjob now, KoL :D BTW, anyone want the theme ....? :devil: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/47/#findComment-586917741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell-In-A-Handbasket Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 what will a petition do, MS doesnt care about petition's, if anything they will shutdown your XP when Vista come's out, lol Although it's unlikely this would work, does someone want to start an online petition?

Eli Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 So I guess Microsoft is coming to terms that since everything else for Windows Vista is going to be available for Windows XP except for the visual style. Now that someone has re-created the visual style, Microsoft has nothing left to make Vista unique. Good Job Microsoft. Now we know the truth.

imtoomuch Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 What did the email say, and are you positive it's from Microsoft? I don't understand why they'd do this. I don't know about the legality of it, but if all of the graphics are 100% yours and just made to emulate Vista would it hold up in court?
