Problem is the visual guidelines set / not set in Windows. Windows UI is a bit of a mess. Every time a software comes out, it has its own chrome and UI patterns. This, as much as having a super bright chrome, adds to the distraction. Lack of consistency between applications causes each of the applications to stand out. This is the problem. Microsoft has to figure out how apps should look in Windows and tell developers. The problem is not all office or individual designer. Problem is the visual guidelines set / not set in Windows.
