I agree that colored emojis are hideous, but I was mainly thinking about the ones this site has, which I’m completely fine with (that is, unless it just shows up as a box).
While Microsoft was lagging behind to get emoji support in the first place, I think they’re getting ahead of the curve with support now.
And this is one of my main problems with Windows: Almost nothing is standardized. Every app has their own implementation of things, which may or may not work with emoji. Emoji are almost (Looking at you, Chrome) universally supported in every app on the Mac, which I like.
