How is the top menu[1] ok? Grey background with clear blue icons? I would understand with skype because it's not their logo, but even their own blue icons look terrible with that background. Also, the controls on the carousel[2] are off. This is not just fanboy hate, but for a company the size of Microsoft, their homepage should matter. These two examples show that they just don't care. Unrelated to this, I find the metro style interesting for touch devices, but adopting it as the look of the whole company dumbs down their entire product. Also, the font looks to me like a futurist Comic Sans. [1]: http://i.imgur.com/a9JzT.png http://i.imgur.com/a9JzT.png [2]: http://i.imgur.com/rnjJM.png http://i.imgur.com/rnjJM.png
