Windows Longhorn and Internet Explorer 7

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the arrrr-ess-ess dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At Gnomedex this year, Microsoft is excited about the new RSS integration into Windows Longhorn and Internet Explorer 7. Screenshots of Internet Explorer 7 reveal how Microsoft has added a search tool to the top right of the browsing window similar to the one found in Safari/Firefox. Also, Microsoft revealed that RSS will be integrated into the heart of Longhorn."

    It's quite ridiculous. They've taken a technology (RSS) that was invented 8 years ago and has been in common use since at least 2002, shamelessly ripped the UI from Apple (again), and it's still a year and a half away!

    It's one thing for the marketing driods to try and hype something like this, but developers? Who the hell do they think their audience is?

    Hey troll, please explain HOW this makes more sense from a usability perspective. I've seen two or three posts from you saying "MS program managers made the decision based on usability tests," which as far as I'm concerned means jack shit. Give us several examples of how this came about as a usability decision...Go ahead, I'm waiting...
