Why is the new Google icon a Windows Logo

Somebody explain this to me:

GoogleMicrosoft

Why is it that the marketing team at Google decided to make their new logo a Windows look alike? Is Google secretly in love with Microsoft and we just haven’t seen it yet? Or will Google make a hostile bid for Microsoft soon?

This is what the logos look like in birds eye view:

GoogleMicrosoft

Too similar or just a coincidence? What do you think?

Cheers,

M.

Haha, I didn't notice the similarities. Actually I think the new logo is fugly. And why use a lower case 'g' when the logo itself uses upper case 'G'?
