Windows 8 - Microsoft's latest version of the world's most widely used operating system - has one of the most terrible Explorer UIs known to man.

When Windows 7 was originally shown to the world, it features a minimal Explorer UI, giving the whole system elegance and style. However it seems Microsoft have done a U-turn and decided to have all the Explorer functions on the UI.
This could be great for power users, having everything displayed in the ribbon can be quicker. But for people who are "less accustomed" to computing, it will work about as well as a hooker on a farm.
Microsoft have already told us they are "reimagining Windows 8 and the Explorer UI", and the design hasn't come from nowhere - it's the same sort of design used in Office 2010. However, I personally feel that it should have stuck to Office and not Explorer.
This most likely is not the last story we'll hear about the Explorer UI, and definitely not the last story we'll hear about Windows 8. The only thing Microsoft can do now is hope more people like this new power-favoring interface than the older one.
The following user groaned x iJB x for this awful post:
Brain can't handle... Looks like all OS's are going down... beside Mac, they aren't doing really anything with UI.
