Design over Usability

摘要

Windows 8 is a computer science masterpiece trapped inside a user interface kerfuffle. Microsoft's new operating system for phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and servers brims with innovative technologies, bold ideas, and visual elegance. The system's radical new interface, called Modern, is a pleasure to use on phones and tablets. And although that interface fares poorly on today's larger desktop computer screens, Windows 8 probably won't damage the company's standing in corporate America.
