yeah, i noticed that too. but what is the volta? Nessie? a salamander? an eel?

hopefully not an eel, because i trust eels even less than i trust foxes.

All the logos from Microsoft Live Labs look alike. See labs.live.com/CategoryView.aspx

<sarcasm type="thick">

One's an Eel with electric tail the other a Fox with a fire tail. Where's the confusion? If anything the Eel is more accurate, I've never seen or heard of a Fox's tail bursting into flames to defend itself or kill its prey.

Microsoft is the only company that size that can't afford a visual identity... fact.

This is really annoying - are my comments being blocked, or are they waiting to be approved?

There is something familiar about both logos. Try searching for "Ouroboros" (also spelled Ourorboros, Oroborus, Uroboros or Uroborus).
