start.com— Check this out, Microsoft has completely stolen Google Home Page (http://www.google.com/ig). Same color scheme, same features, same EVERYTHING. Has Microsoft labs just given up?

Start was around for a while before goodl ig...plus this is sort of a dupe, posts of start.com have been on here for like 2 months now....I myself am getting tired of all this flame war material being posted......please rate this as a dupe or lame to get this garbage off the homepage.....
To the first post, I'm sorry, that's bull. Microsoft didn't pioneer AJAX. Please don't make up facts to try and justify and rationalize what Microsoft did.
start.com is nice, good customization (if you have a .net passport or whatever). It's hardly a rip off. You make it sound like putting information like weather and stocks into columns on a page is an original innovation on publishing or something. Gimme a break.

Microsoft's version looks more like a spyware dispensing site than an actual start page.

I don't see anything similar. Google doesn't own the 2 colors and simple look. Sorry if I sound like I'm defending MS, but it just sounds unfounded.
