The Windows 3.11 -> 95 transition was built on user research, but the Windows 10 -> 11 transition was build to enable market research. There are many competing interests that get in the way of building things that the users actually want.
- rbanffy 5y agoWhat users want is usually boring. We express what we want in terms of what we know. The real kick comes from what we never knew we wanted. My last Symbian phone was objectively better than the first iPhone, but we never suspected the fluid multi-touch UI was what we wanted until after we saw that Jeff Han demo. A future of computers that are just faster, with more pixels, is very boring.
