That's an incredibly weird choice for a logo. I mean, its not the WORST they could do, but it looks like a square simon says.

Yeah I know before it was the same color scheme but now they're just sitting there with a perfectly straight negative space and I just this random urge to push the buttons to make them light up.

Windows 8 just looks uninspired. Hey guys, if your way of communicating the name "windows" in a logo is literally a window with its borders converted to negative space, then you're not playing the brand recognition game right.

Seriously. People look at the apple logo and go "Oh, its an apple." They're going to look at this, pause for a few seconds and go "Oh. Its a window. I get it." Its the bad pun of logo designs.
