My short time with Apple's OS (4 years), I noticed Apple doesn't make drastic changes but rather alot of tweaks and gradual improvements. (From a UI/UX perspective)
Windows on the other hand makes erratic leaps and breaks users' expectation (from previous versions) alot, and have to relearn alot of new flow. (Not just the OS but its Office Suite as well. The Tabbed categorization of Toolbars really frustrated me). Now that with 8, they're shifting their focus, again. Will it work? Who knows – I just know I have to learn everything again, and it's daunting.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI would categorize Lion's scrolling change to be drastic.
- justjimmy 15y agoNot when the underlying experience exists on iPhone and with the prominence of the touchpad (from MacBooks), it's not a blindsided change.
- UnFleshedOne 15y agoInterestingly it is almost opposite picture from developer's point of view -- apple breaks things every major release, windows still supports stuff back from win95 days.
