We take it for granted…

We Mac users are blessed with a great interface and desktop. This is absolutely true. Even MacOS X, despite its departure from the classic ‘Mac’ look is much better than the alternatives, as is proved in this usability report on the GNOME desktop for Linux. It’s really quite fascinating how the Linux/open-source/geek world seriously has no idea on how to make an interface usable. I recommend reading it, as it’s fascinating how many things were done wrong, and how great OS X is, really.

    i especially like how they have a style guides listing within the usability section, but the only articles it points to are other os’ interface guidelines…
