Skin Deep Usability
,----[ Quote ]
| The whole experience was probably best summed up by Amanda who, when asked
| why it was taking us so long to get the machine up and running, and why we
| all looked so unhappy, replied “Oh, it’s just so…Microsofty.”
|
| That’s the true cost of a poor approach to usability – it gets you a
| reputation that’s hard to shake.

| while roughly an equal number used Google (NSDQ: GOOG), according to a CNET
| report.
