I just ripped them in a email over their UI presentation on their forums. I have been designing Windows desktop/webpage apps for over 20 years and their “new” style really sucks. They released a technology (WPF) that can do wonders when you use it, but instead they op for this sissified, bland metro look. It is ugly.

Very much agreed.

We are finally getting monitors with the size and resolution to really fully utilize the windows concept and what do they do, introduce full screen apps and call it modern.

Go figure.

It looks, well . . . gay. Failing that it looks metrosexual, or androgynous.
