Microsoft Vista User Interface Guidelines Published

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the looks-better dept.

SEMW writes "Microsoft has published the preliminary Official User Interface Guidelines for Windows Vista. Highlights include Top 12 Rules for the Windows Vista User Experience — and the use of screenshots from Windows XP as examples of what not to do. The full guidelines are as yet incomplete, but what is there makes for interesting reading."

    An "article" by Zonk that is not in the Games-section? What the motherfuck? Has his mom finally confiscated his Wee-prototype to get him to get a job so she does not have to endure his constant jerking noises from the basement?

    I can't wait for the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines to adopt Windows Vista screenshots as examples of what not to do...

    Ladies and gentlemen, twit in a nutshell. A sad, sorry, little ball of hatred and paranoia.

    I'm sorry, I forgot to put in the Steve Balmer voice tags so that M$ PR drones could get the joke. Blame the user is a Microsoft game.
