Why Vista’s interface sucks

April 5, 2007

Expanding on some of the consistency issues I mentioned in my previous post about my experiences using Windows Vista, I feel the need to share this wonderful image I stumbled upon. Someone took a few moments to compile screenshots and label the gross inconsistency with which various types of Vista interfaces are presented. This is why I feel frustrated and have a headache after using Vista for a little while — because it’s all different and everything’s always in a different place. Talk about poor interface design. This is why I cringe whenever I hear someone talk about how “cool” Vista’s interface is…I bet those same people go “ooh! shiny!” and will stare at an SUV’s spinners for half an hour.
