Microsoft will bring graphics destined for Windows Vista to the Macintosh
What is this?
Vista graphics tools to reach Mac
What problem is MS it trying to solve with this? I'm asking because I don't get it and would like someone here who knows about it to explain it to me in laymen's terms. Thanks.

So many Vista icons are copied from OS X that no one will notice.

It is bizarrely Machiavellian....
Doesn't sound like it will be that good anyway. From the article referenced above:
Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere is a subset of the full user interface tool available in Windows Presentation Foundation on Windows and, as such, will not enable the same graphical richness as Windows Vista
The Shiira site is a straight up Vista theme.
Possibly a Front Page template?

Well, apparently Vista has brought its graphics to Mac application websites, at any rate.

I must say that theme is very nice indeed. But we all know it was born from Aqua.

I personally like the Vista theme more right now, even if it's an Apple-like theme. Glossy black is very nice, Apple uses it on their websites but never in their UI, except in limited usage in some Pro apps.
Yeah, but you don't count anymore. . .

It's a replacement for Flash. After MS convinces everyone to install the WPF/E plugin, then they can sell their design tool to Web designers instead of Flash. People with C# and Windows programming experience will probably find WPF/E more familiar to program than Flash.

Business as usual.

Why's that?
That CD music icon existed way before Jobs even saw OSX in his sleep. Win95 already had that icon for CD music.
Windows 95 had a somewhat similar icon. A CD with a grouping of three notes.
It was quite pixilated and not as symmetrical.
You cannot argue that Apple's influence had on MS cleaning up its icons making them slick graphics with animation.
