More Microsofty madness

ilaiI upgraded to Office 2007 at work this morning and noticed that it uses the new Vista fonts for all its menu and text. My first thought was, "huh, that's kind of neat, they've decided to anti-alias everything and use a reputable font (Frutiger) as their default."
... except then I went looking for Frutiger on my machine and it wasn't there. Instead, there were these two other fonts called Segoe and Segoe UI that bear an uncanny resemblance to Frutiger. Microsoft has done it again--they've ripped off another reputable typeface and replaced it with a sad substitute from Monotype.
