The new GUI for Windows XP is strangely familiar . Well, if we are on the subject of the Windows design team 'liberating' ideas, check out the screenshots SU posted. The final screen shows an updated recycle bin that bears an extremely strong resemblance to the Garbo Wastebin by Karim Rashid. At least they have good taste. MS knows their current interface sucks, however one should point out that neither of these companies is doing something revolutionary.
Apple approaches that with their unix core- which is hardcore .
I'd like to hear more comments from 37 about the interfaces. All the window controls are still confusingly similar in appearance and crammed into the upper right-hand corner of the window, where they can be easily mistaken for each other. And for being plastic or fake-looking, we've known Microsoft to be the operating system for artificial friendliness forever. Nothing new there either. So, I'm not going to waste any breath whining about their GUI changes.
