As said in Commons:Screenshots Microsofts policy [1] is not compatible with Wikimedia guidelines. Matt (talk) 11:09, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]



 Kept,

Microsoft's guidelines do not allow derivative works,[3] so screenshots of Microsoft products would go against Commons policy. The Windows operating system itself is a Microsoft product, and the precise appearance of standard operating system widgets in some themes may or may not be copyrightable, as they are purely geometric.

This is pure geometry + a few numbers, all in all not eligible for copyright. (Even the layout/style does not necessarily come from Microsoft.) RE rillke questions? 16:18, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
