Everyone’s linking this…me too: xBetas @ PDC 05 — preview of the new MS interface.
It’s better — no doubt about that — and there are probably a lot of UI improvements in there that I can’t appreciate properly by looking at the screenshots. But the looks part of it… Hmm, I dunno… Somehow it just seems that MS-interfaces always end up looking cluttered. Whether you like the graphical implemtation or not doesn’t matter to me. I’m a Mac-user and though I preach a lot, I’m nowhere near religious. If MS comes up with something better, they get my vote. But why do the cram all that stuff in there? In fonts that always look a bit washed out… Have to see it to make up my mind, but so far I’m not at all impressed…
