Where do Microsoft hire their designers from? How can one of the richest companies in the world not be able to hire crack designers to actually produce something more than a glossy tacky UI.
Or is Microsoft so engineer/developer focused that they let the engineers design the interfaces that normal every-day people will use.
And if Windows 8 is supposed to be the touch friendly OS from the ground up, why are they still relying on Ctrl + Alt + Del and implementing that god awful Ribbon UI across the board?

- jganetsk 16y ago> why are they still relying on Ctrl + Alt + Del That's a security measure. No application can hook into Ctrl + Alt + Del... the OS always handles it. This way, a malicious application can't phish you with a fake login screen. If they were to pick another key combination to reserve for the OS, they would break backward compatibility.
