The answer is entertaining.

Here is a teaser, but as the post unfolds the mock-up screenshots get better and better:

    OMG, this article is hilarious LOL. It remembers me that wonderful video about what would happen if iPod was marketed by Microsoft (http://www.weshow.com/us/p/21400/microsoft_designs_the_ipod). Soooo nice! I can’t understand why some people prefer Hotmail… its just horrible. Gmail is much better!
