Women Need Larger Screens for Desktop Navigation?

Posted by michael on from the francis'-2000"-LCD dept.

Mac of Macistan writes "In a recent article in the New Scientist, Microsoft's R&D claims that women have a harder time navigating the desktop because their spatial abilities are roughly 20% lower than men's abilities. Maybe Linux UI people can get a jump on MS by making KDE/Gnome more accessible to more females."

    therefore they tend to have larger laptops.
