Consistently bad.
- brudgers 14y agoDepends on the relative values one places on form, content, and completeness. In HN terms, Microsoft's website[s] is[are] great as MVP's and improvements thereupon. On the other hand, in terms of Apple's ex cathedra philosophy, then perhaps, yes it[they] is[are] bad.
- saraid216 14y ago> yes it[they] is[are] bad That was mind-breaking. My brain processed it as, "yes it they is er, what are aaaaah bad".
- shell0x 14y agoI don't like it either. Design isn't one of Microsofts strengths.
- thomasf1 14y agoWell... They try to get to a new simplicity. I agree that they fail at making it great, but you´ve got to give them some love for trying. Metro is actually innovative, yet not ideal for desktop PCs. And it´s just the same with the new Logo: Strict simplicity (which makes Apple great), but not thought through in a way. To me it feels like there´s a gatekeeper at the top missing asking the tough questions before the product is out of the door. The one that asks: "But does it really make sense and how can we do better" when the managers self-congratulate themselves on the bold moves.
