Despite this beautiful page, and the “new” Microsoft of the Nadella era, I’m not yet convinced that Microsoft actually cares about design.
On the hardware side, their Surface line is beautiful. But the modern Windows UI/UX is...uninspired and sterile. So is Edge, Explorer, and Office suite.
Google and Apple are the leaders in the application design space re. UI/UX, and I just don’t see Microsoft treating it seriously just yet.
