As part of the Windows XP development, Microsoft hired a lot of people to look at interfaces and usability. I know this because Tyler knows this. It's paid off, too. I'd rather not sound like an advertisement or MS propaganda, so I won't go on a long spiel about how much the Windows interface has improved. I'll just say that I'd like to congratulate Microsoft for finally getting properly behind usability, because that's what computers are supposed to be about. We should be looking toward a world where nobody needs to be trained to operate a computer, because it's so simple, or even invisible. That's still a long way off, of course.
