David - Thanks for your note, but that is not how I read the MS quote from Victor. MS appears to think they are not cuttin' it because their experience is not rich enough. I disagree - I think their experience is just plain not good enough. I keep meaning to do a blog on Maslow's hierarchy of needs - my feeling is you need to satisfy the basic user experience requirements before adding gloss (although gloss does make up for *some* deficiencies). If MS concentrates on making their experience *richer* before fixing some fundamental problems (like simple profiles for comms and sound), they will just be applying lipstick to the pig.

That MS isn't cuttin' it in the UX arena and thus can't compete. ... ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
