Windows 8: Design over Usability | |
|
||
| Time: 10:35 EST/15:35 GMT | News Source: Technology Review | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Windows 8 is a computer science masterpiece trapped inside a user interface kerfuffle. Microsofts new operating system for phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and servers brims with innovative technologies, bold ideas, and visual elegance. The systems radical new interface, called Modern, is a pleasure to use on phones and tablets. And although that interface fares poorly on todays larger desktop computer screens, Windows 8 probably wont damage the companys standing in corporate America. It might even shore up its eroding presence on residential desktops and laptops by offering a user experience thats new, fun, and different from anything offered by Apple and Google. Indeed, thats my only real criticism of Windows 8: the touch-based user interface is clearly designed for consuming information and having fun, rather than for doing serious work. | ||
