Yeah the design issues really get to me too. I'm a Windows guy through and through. I've been on Windows since 3.11. I'm not moving to any other OS, but wow is the design fucking horrible. With MS's budget, how bloody hard could it be to actually get a design grad to unify the design? It's seriously 2 months of work for a handful of people. It drives me up the wall.

Sometimes I think there are less people working there than what we think.

If you think that it's 2 months of work and can be done by a design grad, you're crazy.

Implementation might be far more work, but unifying the design is not.

I wholeheartedly disagree. When you have that many products and that much user testing to do, unifying a design like that could take even an entire year unless it's something they've been working on already (which, in this scenario, we're assuming they aren't).
