Talk:WIMP (computing)

message: I just realized this has another meaning. So I added WIMP server, I'm linking it up to the LAMP page as I write. I am not sure however if what I wrote is completely accurate, i.e. if you can actually get python running with IIS like you can with apache, or perl.(Does IIS support CGI on have anything like apache mods?). Could someone who is actually running a WIMP(hehe, it's so humourous to call it a WIMP server)or knows about it edit this up for me?  I tried to check most of the wiki links I put up as well, however I think my ignorance of the subject showed through. --Capi crimm 04:43, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Haha... I've just realized that too - sorta says it all! (now, back to NPOV :)) Ah, yeah, that seems to be the official way of referring to it (MSFT must be feeling a bit gutted - especially as WIMP could mean Windows IIS Microsoft SQL Server Programming Language - i.e mean a completely proprietary server of all MSFT products) - a quick Google search of "WIMP IIS" reveals hosting companies using that acronym. Well, at least it's something humorous to light up the day! --J. Atkins (talk - contribs) 15:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaning 

message: This article takes a too naive "pro" stance, including a criticism section
that is more or less a one-sided praise. Other examples include mentioning
power-users among those that benefit---where, in fact, power users tend
to be among the more likely to complain, prefer keyboard controls,
and even command lines.
Generally, there are many uncritical and unsubstantiated claims of
advantages that do not (necessarily) pan out on closer inspection.
While WIMP does bring many advantages, it (and GUI's  in general) is also
among the most debated topics in usability discussions involving power users,
and a one sided laudatory is highly controversial.

message: "Due to the nature of the WIMP system, simple commands can be chained together to undertake a group of commands that would have taken several lines of command line instructions."
What does this mean in the context of WIMP? It actually sounds more like a description of command line pipelining. Bagunceiro (talk) 20:24, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
