I strongly agree with this. An OS should be just a tool that doesn't get in my way. |
There's this scene in the movie Charlie Wilson's War when a contributor's waiting in Charlie's office and he notices that all of Charlie's pages and secretaries are beautiful, sexy women. One of them tells the man, "Charlie always said- 'You can teach them to type, but you can't teach them to grow tits.'"
So if you're going to spend 4, 8, 10+ hours a day five days a week, why not something that's a little aesthetically pleasing? Even if it isn't exactly perfect at first, eventually Vista will be better. For example, when I install it on my computer, it only recognizes 3GB of my 4GB installed. A few updates later, it recognizes all 4GB. Wow! |
I lok at a pretty OS and think to myself: Why waste all that man power getting transparencies to work when you cold have been focusing on fixing crippling bugs, improving sound playback/recording quality or reducing processor overhead. Form is cute, form is for web pages and entertainment. I want function in an OS; speed is sexier than colors.
Would you rather have a flat gray boxy sports car with perfect handling or a sloppy bloated slow minivan that looks like a Lamborghini?
