Bill Gates on Windows XP usability


Bill rants as he struggles to download Moviemaker. Here's the opening paragraph:

"I am quite disappointed at how Windows Usability has been going backwards and the program management groups don't drive usability issues."

It only gets better. Click here for the full, internal e-mail which was published by SeattlePI.com.

I must say that reading the e-mail makes me like Bill more. It's nice to know he actually understands (and experiences) things can are frustrating for end users and isn't living on some other planet.

  1. The sad thing is, he is the one who had the power to do something about it, but didn't see the vision of why it's so important, then make it a priority.

    He's old school. And Windows suffers because of it.
