A Subtle Jab at MSFT by AAPL?

bluescreen While using Finder in Leopard today, I couldn’t help but notice the variation in the icons. I’d noticed before that older iMacs have white screen edges, and Windows machines look older, but it just struck me this afternoon that the icon for Windows machines shows a classic Blue Screen of Death. It seems like an Apple icon designer was poking fun at the PC on this one.

Ironically, Leopard was incorrectly identifying our Apple Airport Extreme as a PC in the network list with this icon.
