User Interface (Score 1)

I think that all Operating Systems need to take a more scaled-down approach to their interfaces. Even Windows is too much for some people. Perhaps to keep the Web-appliance company: the work-appliance? Look at what HP is doing.(really go look-> http://www.hp.com) How much more does an average office-worker need besides a word processor, database, a browser, a file manager, an email client and a cup of coffee? Because face it: most users don't use but 25% of their workstation's total potential. And most are so un-computer-skilled, they tell me things like, "Well, if the shotcut is not on the desktop, then it's not installed, right?" Inexpensive computers whose full potential users utilize every day. Basic and user-friendly(which used to mean "makes the sysadmin think he's running a day-care, not a network) operating systems. Maybe it's time for an OS that doesn't display so many error messages, but conencts the user to the help desk for training on what they did wrong. Okay I think I rambling now... ****45*****
