Mimicing UI
Microsoft is losing market share to the mac. One large reason many young people are switching is because the user interface of the OSX and Apple applications is much more aesthetically pleasing and cleaner. I know this from talking to many of my friends that purchased macs. If Microsoft wants to take back market share they have to make their interface better.
