"The derived logos (Windows, Office) are a little confusing. Why is windows two slates? Why are the slates fighting in Office?"

Apparently you missed what I thought were some pretty awesome visual metaphors:

* "Why is windows two slates?" there are two of them, hence Windows plural

* "Why are the slates fighting in Office?" They look like the walls of an office (the transparency helps with the 3D illusion)



You know what they say about a joke that you have to explain...
