It’s no wonder this is being lambasted around the web, being called a “ self parody” and drawing comparisons to Homer Simpson designing a car. Putting iOS side-by-side with Windows 8 makes Microsofts future UI even more silly looking, as posted by MG Siegler, who calls it “one of the worst UIs I’ve ever seen”:Īpple’s vision for the future of computing versus Microsoft’s vision for the future of computing. Microsoft is proudly displaying this new UI to the world on a MSDN blog post titled “Improvements to Windows Explorer” (seriously).Įverything imaginable is jammed into your brand new ultra-cluttered window toolbar, and you thought Microsoft Office had a mess of an interface? I suppose once you get below the disastrous ‘home tab’ eating the top half of the window, it just looks like Windows 7:įor some comparison, here is the Mac equivalent to Windows Explorer, the Finder of OS X Lion, in a comparable list view of a heavily populated folder. Believe it or not, these pictures show what, somehow, Microsoft has determined is the future of the user interface and file system adding even more buttons, icons, actions, tabs, and whatever else they could stuff onto the already cluttered Windows Explorer interface.
While Apple is busy reducing clutter and creating minimalist interfaces, streamlining OS X and iOS, Microsoft is busy moving in the opposite direction.
