Copied by Google or Optimized for Google

It’s not that much of a secret that Google likes Firefox. Whether you presume that it is because Google is for anything that is not Microsoft or that it is a better product. I don’t care to debate this, but it is apparent that Google, like Yahoo!, is now pushing IE7. Of course, with the Google Toolbar in tow.

According to Jeremy Zawodny, Google’s first attempt at this announcement was remarkably similar to Yahoo!’s page.

“Seriously, click those images and look at the full-sized versions. They’re remarkably similar. And I’ve checked with our PR group to make sure that this wasn’t just a template that Microsoft gave to all partners. It’s not.”

Or was it a joke?

Apparently, it ruffled some feathers. Jeremy offers some screenshots of both pages for you review. Interestingly, they are both from Firefox.
