For years Microsoft has failed to deliver the great UX we've come to expect from devices like the iPad and iPhone, and apps like gmail. I've heard Windows Phone is pretty good, but it's hard to imagine Microsoft offering serious competition to Apple and Google while they still think stuff like this is a good idea: http://gizmodo.com/5835814/th-new-windows-8-explorer-ui-look...

I like what they did to the xbox 360 dashboard. I don't understand why they went with flat tiles in windows 8. (actually I do, but it's a shame that they don't have an option to switch into it like aero) The depth and 3D elements on the 360 made for a slick interface.
