Although I'm not inclined to totally disagree with that claim, I'm weary to accept it as a totally true statement either because I have seen "ordinary users" switch from task-bar based window management to workspaced based window management. My girlfriend, on her OSX, for example, uses Desktop Manager all the time. However, all she does with the laptop is browse the web, check her emails, and occasionally play a few rounds of WarCraft III -- very much the typical non-power-user. And it wasn't something a power-user had to spend time teaching her either; she started to use it on her own after noticing it being used by her friends. Granted, that is only one example, and the above mentioned "friends" consists almost entirely of hackers and geeks. However, it still contradicts the idea that workspaces is entirely of the realm of power-users. _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
