[Sigia-l] If microsoft had designed the Ipod packaging

Davezilla:

> Yes. Spot on.

Are you intimating that designers/IAs/marketers/etc at Microsoft are not
following best practices? Are you actually saying that they don't wear white
coats and conduct user tests? Are you suggesting that a few design gurus
have run amok at Microsoft and produced these without the benefit of
tested-and-true design-by-committee? Don't you think end users have the
option of finding any kind of info they may need on those boxes and isn't
that what UCD is all about? Don't you think having just one kind of box the
way Apple does is unnecessarily restricting user options? Cheap Microsoft
bashing from predictable sources, I'd say.
