mrgan:

I mean, where to start.
1. The new version of Microsoft Visio - which, in case you’re not cursed with a sucky office job, is a very popular diagramming app - includes a rip-off of Panic’s Transmit truck.
2. They didn’t just copy the icon, of course - they first ran it through the world’s worst autotracer (check out that front grill!)
3. All the other icons in the app are of this “quality”.
4. Visio also includes a groundbreaking feedback feature called Send-A-Smile/Send-A-Frown. It is of similar quality as well.

Shame on you, Microsoft.
