With designs like these are think they should. These are some of the different concepts they came up with 2 or 3 years ago, as an example for PC manufacturers to take ideas from.

Microsoft "Oxygen"

Microsoft "Zinc"

Microsoft "Carbon"

Microsoft "Argon"

Microsoft "Cobalt"

Of course trust the PC manufacturers to bundle bloatware and insist on plain ugly looking boxes instead of producing high-quality machines. Would Microsoft entering the hardware business in the high-end force them to get their act together?
