Stardock Gets Heat for "Aqua" Skins

Apple, Inc. has reportedly requested that Stardock take down skins for its desktop application DesktopX that resemble, or mimic entirely that of Apple's Aqua interface. Brad Wardell, according to the ZDNet report, asked Apple for further clarification on what violates its Intellectual Property rights so as to prevent further violations in the future. DesktopX has been popular amongst Windows users because it allows them to break out of the traditional Windows interface. The best part about the software is that designers were able to mimic and create the Aqua interface even before Apple faithfuls got their hands on the real thing.
