Windows is a Burning Platform
- Pr0 14y agoFirst screenshot shows an application on what, Windows 2000? Rofl, nice try.
- MattRogish 14y agoQuickBooks hasn't changed much, but updated with a more recent version. Still looks terrible.
- mooism2 14y agoScreenshots aren't just of different apps, but of different kinds of apps. Showing me screenshots of a Twitter client and an accounting package is not going to convince me that the accounting package is running on the platform with inferior design values. Show me screenshots of Twitter clients from the two platforms. Or of accounting packages from the two platforms.
- MattRogish 14y agoThat's a good point that I considered; ultimately it's a tough comparison because I need to compare "popular" apps. A Windows twitter client that is super well designed but only has 2 users isn't a representative app (e.g. it's not reaching enough people to positively affect the Windows brand). QuickBooks, with 5+ million Windows installs is a super well-known app. The other accounting packages on Mac OSX are much less used. However, you could use Xero, Harvest, or Freshbooks as examples of alternate accounting packages, and in my opinion all of them are better designed than QB.
- mooism2 14y agoAre there really no popular Windows Twitter clients?
- marshray 14y agoWhich do you like better: receiving tweets from a nice lady who's begging to buy you lunch with as much dessert as you want, or managing the fixed assets of a construction company? No wonder kids aged 6 - 12 preferred the Wii U.
