Maybe Microsoft should change their logo from the Window with colored panes to an Orca whale or some other penguin predator…
Penguins is practically chickens, you know.
I don’t know about that. When was the last time you saw a chicken swim in antarctic waters?
Re: MS changing their logo to an Orca…
That could be rather appropriate (unintentionally so, since the Orca is rather high on the Endangered Species list, so high, in fact, that some biologists think that it may be due for extinction no matter what).
