Microsoft takes a minimalist approach with Windows 7’s interface design Part – 2

The bad interface design features…

The following features may trigger Vista flashbacks:

1.    Confusing names:  Some of the feature names are misleading or do not describe their functions properly.  For example, “User Account Control” doesn’t actually control the user account etc.
2.    Windows Update: The Windows update feature does not always follow your commands—if you tell it to download and install everything as Microsoft suggest, it still might reboot without your permission.  Thus it is inconsistent with what the interface design suggests.

The strange interface design features…

Microsoft may have gone through a minimalistic metamorphosis with Windows 7, but that doesn’t mean they have taken out all the fun.  Just take a look at one of their pre-installed background options. These will certainly enliven your desktop in unexpected ways… Apparently, Microsoft couldn’t resist giving us something to scratch our heads about. Literally.
