Richo99 writes "The editor at UI Hall of Shame takes us for a walk through a house designed by bad software developers. It appears Ed is getting a bit tired of really bad software designs in popular shareware titles. It is interesting because how much of a crime these apps perpetrate isn't obvious until you apply the same logic to everyday things, like the design of a house. I especially love the access to the garden. "

    A bad designer turns out crap, nobody buys it, the clothes wind up in the £1 bargain bin, the designer needs to start looking for another job.

    A bad automobile designer turns out crap, nobody buys it, he's sacked, if the entire company churns out nothing but crap it goes under sooner or later.

    A bad actor turns out crap, gets lousy reviews and the next acting job is the back end of a pantomime cow.

    Microsoft turn out Windows and people keep on buying it in droves.
