Microsoft has never had a consistent look and feel across its suite of applications. Windows Live Mail, Zune media player, Windows media player, the Office suite, etc all looked different and they all looked different than other Microsoft applications.

Microsoft doesn’t even have a consistent look and feel within its operating system. Windows 8 forward has been an inconsistent mess of a half implemented tablet interface.

Microsoft has never had a consistent look and feel across consumer applications. The business applications are highly consistent.

Microsoft Teams, Skype, VS Code, Internet Explorer, System Center. Not sure you could argue these are non-business applications, and none of them seem very consistent to me.

Amusingly, Skype looked much more native before MS bought it out and redesigned everything.

Interesting point, but that wasn't my experience. The office suite was consistent, but SharePoint differed markedly (at least in ~2010 when I last used it). IIS was different yet. I'm trying to think of other business-oriented MS products that I used (it's been a while)...
