nice job Fuse (again!^^) the result is obviously beautiful, but personally I'm a little bit concerned by the colors choice, not for MS or Google similarities, but rather by Adobe's one! the gradients are very similar to Adobe Products CS5 splash screens, meaning: Red: FlashPro, Green: DW, Orange: IL, Bleu: PS
maybe it's just a personal impression but I honestly can't be very objective on that, since my own logo (here in the signature) is based on those colors replacing Orange by Purple for After Effects, but the colors are soooo close!
