Probably one from the psychologists who reckon that blue walls/lighting
calms people down.

Red would probably remind most Windows users of the red klaxxon (sp?)
warning lights off Star Trek. Microsoft probably feel they'd be
responsible for users throwing themselves from side to side with
"whooaaargh" sound effects.. Okay, well, even more so than usual ;).

Reading back that last paragraph makes me want to go off and check
