It's ironic that a company that was well regarded for the quality GUI on their OS is so fucking bad atmaking GUIs now.

Teams, Windows Settings, Azure, even the Microsoft login page, it's all godawful.

Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP and 7 are generally regarded as having great UIs.

Of course, we know what happened later:

You mean, like when MS GUI was praised for Me and Vista's un-usability? /s

I maintain that Metro was a very good mobile UI.
