So if you use Live Search a lot, particularly from the main Live.com page, you know that every day Microsoft uses a new picture for their search background.  Well, I thought it ironic today, when I fired up Internet Explorer (8 RC1 by the way) and this was today’s picture.

Yeah, that’s a Snow Leopard.  As in Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.  Now, as much as I’d love to believe Microsoft is doing this in some way to show people they are shrugging off the next Mac release, that’s probably not the case…………….is it?
