The new user interface in Windows 8 has divided the waters since its launch. Now explains Microsoft designer that thus secured the first users to simplify oxendales my account the classic Windows experience. By Adam Fribo Wednesday 19 February 2014 - 15:44
Since the launch of Windows 8 has to put it mildly, oxendales my account been divided on the new user interface, originally called Metro and later was baptized Modern UI. Some have bid it welcome, oxendales my account while others have been annoyed that Windows no longer boots to the classic desktop by default.
The designer Jacob Miller explains that Microsoft has divided oxendales my account users into two categories. Content creators and content consumers. The first group are superuser who uses the computer oxendales my account to solve more complex tasks simultaneously. The second group is - according to Miller - the younger siblings or grandparents who find recipes on the net.
"It was like a rental tuxedo. It did reasonably well for many people oxendales my account - but it was not customized, so we would exclude many. All the features we wanted into Windows should be simple enough not to confuse casual users and not so simplistic that they were useless for the super user. Many features were cut from the background, "explains Miller, adding that they will later be able to focus on pure super-user experiences, now that casual users have 'a oxendales my account new great place to look at pictures of cats - Metro'.
Jacob Miller mentions among other multiple desktops as a Windows oxendales my account feature that has been discussed for years, but each time was cut off, so as not to confuse the less advanced users too much.
So old is Windows XP
If Windows 9 for "power users" are going to be more Windows 7 than Windows 8, there are options, but if "we" still need to jump trickery to get into a usable interface on a desktop rather than play with a touch-optimized (limited) interface, so it does not help much that the engine underneath might be better / good.
Just the location of the switch functionalities alone illustrate how foolish design decisions are and which therefore do not get the "regular" user benefit. It seems too much like a front-end designer has thought "uhh colors" and all actual users have been locked away somewhere.
My old mother of 57 is FAR from Super User and she is deeply in love with his Macbook Air. We gave her two weeks ago, and she will install programs running multiple desktops, and have even been taught oxendales my account the concept oxendales my account of switching between Safari and Chrome depending on whether you are going on NemID or not (Fucking Java does not work in Chrome OS X) ...
I'm oxendales my account not saying that Apple is better, I'm just saying that they clearly understood more by design than Microsoft. She tried namely also Windows 8 and hated it like the plague, and it has been 8'eren which have been changed through oxendales my account ..
All the features we wanted into Windows should be simple enough not to confuse casual users and not so simplistic that they were useless for the super user. Many features were cut from the background
Bullseye!
I think that .. "The second oxendales my account group is - according to Miller - the younger siblings or grandparents who find recipes on the net" alone is another unintelligent excuse in the series because it has been done in the nettles, we have discovered it and still can not handle management of Biksen.
I do not know what kind of users they have themselves tested oxendales my account under development, but I have several friends and family members who fall somewhere into the "cats and cake recipes" segment and for all as I have had to downgrade to Win7 after they have run with Win8 for a while.
If people do not like modern ui, why do not they just the normal desktop in Win8? The only difference oxendales my account is that they get a full screen menu, instead of a popup menu when they have to start the application. It can not be so damn confusing?
I just installed win 8 yesterday via bootcamp on my mac when I blve bit curious to see it for themselves .. It took me seriously about 10 minutes to figure out how to turn off the computer again.!. And I would categorize myself as being well inside the computer terminology. It is so deeply illogical how to guess that you have to run your mouse over the lower right corner, so wait a bit .. to come up a menu. . then select settings and then power on / off. Why the heck is called button, moreover, not just turn off, instead of 'on oxendales my account / off'? The computer's turned on if I manage to find their way into the switch.
Moreover, I do not think I have used it almost the last 3-4 years old. The desktop I use press I always sleep on the keyboard. On my Surface Pro 2 I press the physical on / off button to sleep'e e
