Here's Apple's take on the exact same dialog box. Thank you -- yes, I designed the dialog box. No, no, no. Already, we can see that Apple and Microsoft have a severely divergent approach to software design. Microsoft's approach to simplicity tends to be: let's break it down; let's just make it more steps. There are these "wizards" everywhere. And you know, there's a new version of Windows coming out this fall. If they continue at this pace, there's absolutely no telling where they might wind up. "Welcome to the Type-A-Word Wizard." OK, I'll bite. Let's click "Next" to continue. From the drop-down menu, choose the first letter you want to type. OK. So there is a limit that we don't want to cross. So what is the answer? How do you pack in all these features in a simple, intelligent way? I believe in consistency with possible, real-world equivalents, trashcan folder when possible, label things mostly. But I beg of the designers here to break all those rules if they violate the biggest rule of all, which is intelligence. Now what do I mean by that? I'm going to give you some examples where intelligence makes something not consistent, but it's better. If you are buying something on the web, you're supposed to put in your address and you're supposed to choose which country you're from, OK? There are 200 countries in the world. We like to think of the Internet as a global village. I'm sorry; it's not one yet. It's mainly, like, the United States, Europe and Japan. So why is United States in the US? You have to scroll, like, seven screens-full to get to it. Now it would be inconsistent to put United States first, but it would be intelligent. This one's been touched on before, but why in God's name do you shut down a Windows PC by clicking a button called "Start?"
這是蘋果的同一個對話框 謝謝 -- 是我設(shè)計了這個對話框. 不不不 我們已經(jīng)看到蘋果和微軟 對于軟件設(shè)計有著相當不同的方法 微軟達到簡單的方法是 拆分 采用更多的步驟 于是這些向?qū)ё兊玫教幎际?你們知道 新版本的Windows今年秋天推出 如果他們繼續(xù)這么做 沒人知道 他們會做成什么樣 歡迎來到 輸入一個單詞 向?qū)? 好吧 讓我們點"下一步"繼續(xù) 從下拉菜單中, 選擇您要輸入的第一個字母. 恩 因此我們做事要有限度 但答案在哪? 如何才能將所有這些特性以簡單 智能的方式包裝起來? 我信仰 "保持一致" "真實對等" "使用回收站" "使用標注" 但我請求在場的設(shè)計師們 打破這些規(guī)則 如果它們抵觸了最大一條規(guī)則 那就是"智能". 什么意思呢? 我會舉一些例子 說明智能讓某些事物 失去一致 但卻更好 比如你在網(wǎng)上購物 你需要輸入你的地址 以及你所在的國家 好了 世界上有200多個國家. 我們常說互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是地球村 對不起 它還不是 主要是美國 歐洲和日本 但為何美國在"U"字部? 你得要滾動7個屏才能找到它 雖然把美國放在第一位會不一致 但這顯得智能. 另一個老故事 看在上帝的份上 為何關(guān)閉一臺Windows PC時 要點"開始"按鈕?
