Good for you. My two cents:
Before Windows, running each new program was a challenge. Figuring out which key did what function. One of the best things windows did for the world was to standardize expected/common tasks into the File/Edit/Options/Help menus, along with keyboard shortcuts. I cringe when I get new programs (usually audio/video/game modules) that demand I spend additional time figuring out how to do simple stuff like exit the program. My vote stays with good old rectangular windows. But then, I'm over fifty! In my world, an interface is judged largely by it's utility, not it's creativity. > We are surrounded by graphics and user interfaces, > starting from electronic devices and continuing with > software. > Operating systems have support for interesting user > interfaces features, but none of them seem to be used. > > We often face applications having static user > interfaces.
