I suppose your right Spartan, although I would like to think here at WC "Joe" isnt so average..

This is a skinning site and as skinners that submit work..we are "graded/rated" by moderaters and our "peers"(fellow skinners)So naturally the "Joe's" here have a more trained eye than your "average joe" and many do strive for perfection...

As a consumer, WC is invaluable..Here you can learn what a trained eye sees in particular submissions, you can learn what is quality and what really is garbage then you can ultimately learn what to look for to draw your own conclusions from..

If it's just a matter of "Content" such as in my case with the "Bee's" then that really is a personal preference which really means nothing at all except to the individual in question..
But if it is a "quality" issue...Usability/functionality quality of graphics, that is what your "trained eye" will judge the particular piece in question by..

Why should the skinners on this site treat anything from MS any differently? Just because MS put it out there doesnt mean it is the greatest thing since sliced bread...Noooooo...they will be judged as well,and since they are infact MS, perhaps they will be judged a bit more harshly, which may or may not be fair...

But then again, this *is a Skinning site...It is the nature of the beast.
