Agreed. I considered, and still consider, Microsoft in the 80s through the late-90s to be excellent at UI/UX. Windows 2000 was the pinnacle for good UI, and Windows 7 with the Classic UI mode was the best it ever got.
Microsoft has abandoned most of their own principles (and they were good principles) of UI developed in those days, and now everything seems to be designed by a committee of schizophrenic art school dropouts.
