Windows 8 and all new stuff Microsoft is releasing looks disgusting to me and completely tasteless. Compared to Apple stuff it's night and day and that's when Apple is at it's worst (like ical with that awful leather).

I prefer Unity that Ubuntu is using. Seems the most straight forward and doesn't get in the way.

I am inclined to agree with the comment in the screenshot by Chad Clawson.

I like office 2013, I like the "desktop" visual style in windows 8 and I like android 4 look but to be honest apples ui is looking very dated compared to these. They haven't changed it in 10 years, probably about time they should me thinks...

Yeah, but Boz... Your opinion is hardly objective, is it? Everyone knows you hate everything MS.

Well in that case it means I hate Microsoft, I hate Apple, I hate everyone.

I don't. I appreciate things that are done right and criticize things that are not done right. Saying Microsoft has taste is just wrong IMO.

Time will tell how Windows 8 products are received by common people. I for one, also hate the ultra simplistic Metro UI. Coloring it with pink/teal/lime green makes matters even worse.

[Enron]

Metro as a design is way more functional and efficient. Sure there can be more improvements to the way it's implemented, but the whole point of it is to allow you to focus more on what you're doing without all the silly distractions people have been adding in just because they can.

[Subhadip]

I hate skeumorphic design in computers, unless where it is logical. It's the reason I disliked Aero glass effects and always turned off transparency, but some of the new stuff in OS X Lion onwards is even more hideous. Really delighted that Microsoft is leaving this horribly cheesy idea behind for being "authentically digital.

[ichi]

Non skeumorphic designs can also be awful and tasteless.
Just saying.

Weren't you employed by Microsoft at one point?

Seems to me you hate everything except Google, they must be your employer now then.

[Javik]

It seems to me as if Microsoft and Apple's UI designers are starting to regress a fair bit.

Are you making excuses to discredit him because of his working experience?

Shame on you..
