erikvlie writes "Pfeiffer Consulting released a report on User Interface Friction, comparing Windows Vista/Aero with Windows XP and Mac OS X. The report concludes that Vista/Aero is worse in terms of desktop operations, menu latency, and mouse precision than XP — which was and still is said to be a lot worse on those measures than Mac OS X. The report was independently financed. The IT-Enquirer editor has read the report and summarized the most important findings."

Working for a small ISP back in '96 or '97... User calls in, has the typical "I can't connect" problem. Go through the paces with him to make sure the software's installed (Windows 3.1 I think), etc. etc. Nothing working. Finally ask the guy, "Is your modem plugged into the phone jack?"

User: "Modem? What the hell is a modem? I don't need one of those. The Internet is supposed to be on these two floppy disks you mailed me."

Good times.
