  1. UI, standalone systems on Microsoft's Vision For Future Operating Systems · · Score: 1
    Shame they didn't place any value whatsoever on the user interface of this new operating system. After all, operators must interact with the system.

    Users need to be more restricted in what they can do, something all OSs have yet to learn, so that they can't mix apps with files willy-nilly over start menus, desktops and quicklaunch bars. They should find it harder to do stupid things, and easier to do sensible things.

    Windows should be auto arranged exactly how the user would want them if they were to do it themselves. Scrolling through hierarchical lists could be speed up by showing micro to macro levels in columns.

    On a different and unfashionable final note, I don't want my computer on the network, and I don't want the network to be my computer. I might stretch to allowing it partial control over my house, but since I use a pirate version of Windows for moral reasons, I'd rather MS didn't auto-update/spy-on-me thanks very much - I don't remember voting to allow them to become a passport authority.
