Microsoft down because of bad UI

Few years before during my Bachelor's degree... I was a very enthusiastic and passionate guy with Microsoft and shared about each and every technology stuff of Microsoft with my friends and staffs... especially about the .Net technology.... btw... suppose to mention.. been their as a Microsoft student champ (ambassador) for my college between 2003 and 2005.

Now, with the same passion when I think about Microsoft that what is going wrong with them.. the very 1st thing comes to my mind is that "their is nothing wrong with technical part but certainly many things going wrong because of bad user interface"...

They have one very common thing in all their products... making the web page or any application with more flashy (shinny blue color)... without thinking how users feel about that... May be it is their trademark colour for so many years... May be many like blue... certainly my favorite color is blue.. but when professionalism comes.. it is white (or any light color which not irritates my eye)... I strongly believe that is why Apple and Google stays ahead...

Most of the Apple or Google websites are very simple with black and white color interface and keeps rocking these days...

I read so many news about Microsoft that wants to buy other companies such as Yahoo for matching the Internet competition.. but I sincerely believe even if they buy majority of the Internet companies and continues developing great products with BAD USER INTERFACE... then certainly I don't think.. Microsoft stay in this internet competition world...

I hope Microsoft will come back strongly in coming days.. with the same old passion..........
