Vista Worse For User Efficiency Than XP

Posted by kdawson on from the two-steps-back dept.

erikvlie writes "Pfeiffer Consulting released a report on User Interface Friction, comparing Windows Vista/Aero with Windows XP and Mac OS X. The report concludes that Vista/Aero is worse in terms of desktop operations, menu latency, and mouse precision than XP — which was and still is said to be a lot worse on those measures than Mac OS X. The report was independently financed. The IT-Enquirer editor has read the report and summarized the most important findings."

  1. Mouse efficiency !??? by Latinhypercube · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    OSX has the WORST mouse control EVER !!!!!!!!!!!! It is only passable by users who have never used Windows. I hate it ! Mouse acceleration is RETARDED. Why no check box for on off ? OSX is like a straight jacket. Plus OSX is a big fat HOG. Anyone who is running the same apps on XP and OSX with a Mac Pro will agree. It's indisputable. All those shinny windows an dumb window transitions are for children, plus they slow everything down. Personally I want to compute with my computer. Long live Win XP. (Vista should be a desktop plugin for Win XP, or at the most a tiny upgrade to Explorer.exe)
