Blue is calming. They are hoping to support calm users.

All of those products are created by Microsoft. However, it has been proven that blue is a color that makes people think of calm and stability, which means it gets used a lot in a lot of areas.
If you're refering to the blue bar up at the top of the window, that's a Windows thing - they do it to keep things looking cohesive when you have multiple screens visible at once. Can you imagine how ugly things would get if you had a neon purple, blood red, puke green, and acid yellow all right on top of each other? Ew.

Blue works well with any other colors and it is easy on the eyes.

It's safe. Try convincing the suits on lime green or hot pink, I don't think it will go over well with them.
