Low Ranked

This is a great example of how Google manages to ruin its supposedly 'clean, simple and efficient' browser (http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/big_02.html). How difficult is it to design something, that focuses on the content rather than the UI or OS? Apple manages to do this very well, using a neutral grey colour for its OS. The Windows 7 UI however, is very distracting. With all of its Aero Glass, it focuses more on itself than the content. Microsoft should stick to the Windows Classic theme, boring but not distracting.

+1 RE: Chrome losing minimalism, -1 for windows opinion. I really like the way that Win7 is so much more minimalistic than Vista and XP, particularly the taskbar.

er, where does it say that I have to use any themes at all. Therefore in what way does this destroy so-called minimalism
further - what a dull world without variety, shapes, colors, decoration. Not everything is about "efficiency". Content is great but it's not everything. I am not a machine!
