Disgruntled Help Desk Tech (Score 3)

My dream is that a UI will be able to test the user for average intelligence then bring up an interface that is on the level that the user is on.

• If the user is too stupid to use a computer it will show in big white letters on a black screen. "You are too stupid to use this computer. Please get a clue then try again."
• If the user has the intelligence of a child (whatever the actual user's age), then make it with only a few large buttons and heavy restrictions.
• If the user is average and has at least a lick of common sense, then at least make the errors give the people a clue what is going on. Instead of "memory dump..." put "I hope you saved whatever you were just working on or you're screwed. Don't bother to call Tech Support, they're just going to tell you to reboot it anyway."
• If the user is advanced then go ahead and keep the UI the way it is.

But Above all, make it stable! Even if they have 50 million applications open and a huge Access Database plus Oulook, make it so it doesn't crash and my life will be a whole lot simpler!
