It&#8217;s crap like this that separates the pros from the amateurs. The reason I do most of my work on the Mac is that Apple and the Mac community seem to have a much higher ratio of pros to amateurs than do Microsoft and the Windows community. <\/p>\n<p>The Mac isn&#8217;t perfect by any means. I could say a few unkind words about its file copying too. However, problems crop up a lot less often there than they do on Windows.<\/p>\n<p>The Linux community mostly doesn&#8217;t even try. These days they&#8217;re pretty much all amateurs when it comes to user interface design. The pros all left when Eazel closed shop, and the money spout got turned off. As a rule, talented kernel hackers and server optimizers do not make great designers. However, Microsoft still has the money spout flowing.

I suspect this time around Microsoft hired a real artist to design the look and feel. That&#8217;s important, but it&#8217;s still just skin deep. The user interaction design is much more important than the graphic design, and here Microsoft is still sucking wind.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Wiseman nails Vista.
