Teachers Teaching Teachers #77 - Participation is the Most Important Part

Nice talk.The first time I used Vista (and Office 2007) I found it to be one of the most difficult (computer environment) adaptations I've had to make in recent history. I'm a Mac OS X user at home, Win XP user at work, and I've tried out several flavors of Linux. Each time I've tried a new environment, there were things to learn and get used to, but they were easy to pick up. The last time I had a shock anything like Vista-shock was actually the transition between the old Mac OS and Mac OS X. Two things helped with that: 1) I tend to believe Apple knows what they're doing concerning UIs, and was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and 2) Apple really does know what they're doing with UIs. I think the Vista shock is actually even greater, and so far seems pretty senseless from a UI perspective. Perhaps my opinion on that will change once I've used it moresexy lingerie1) I tend to believe Apple knows what they're doing concerning UIs, and was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and 2) Apple really does know what they're doing with UIs.
