Microsoft’s new design paradigm is a hash. They should read the book, “Don’t Make Me Think” on interface and layout design.

Microsoft is famous for screwing up user interfaces, although they have gotten better. Given how much Apple harps on it, it was strange to see them violate their own. Of course it could be that OS X 10.7 will have their window controls vertically and this is a preview.

gaahhh.... I didn’t even notice that. I never use the window controls in iTunes. The application is either hidden, open, or not open. I don’t like having floating windows, little windows, etc. But I know people who do, so... gaaaah....

Apple probably has a reason, but I guess we’ll be finding out eventually what that is. Still... gaaaahhhh....

Between giving Apple millions in the 1990s and now this Zune for the Mac, Applebots can stop claiming that Microsoft hasn’t saved their beloved company. /sarc
