One issue that Metro gives a user, is its departure from expected user behaviour. That is : In most other operating systems, the user is given context to what they are doing or about to do, by what is current on screen. A typical user interaction starts with one window open, which prompts the user to do some other task. The user then selects the appropriate interface element that performs this task, and the new window opens, and the user continues to work with the new window open.<br /><br />This expected behaviour is broken by metro. In Windows8 / Windows2012 Server, you have to go to the metro screen to choose your new application, rather than just typing its name in the bottom left hand corner. <br /><br />In windows 7, the user's contextual cues ( "What was is it I'm meant to do??" ) is staring at them ( for example, that email from bob saying "did you check Clare's Agency figures yet" ) - this window is subtley reminding you that you need to type in "Excel" or Clare in the start menu.<br /><br />These contextual cues are not present in windows8. In this case, you see the email from Bob. It reminds you that you need to check clare's agency figures. You go to the metro screen : the email is lost. Metro is telling you its 21 degrees. Its telling you Britney Lohan's Just gone to rehab. It pops up a "toast" notification to tell you the Nasdaq is falling and to call your broker. All great, interesting stuff. But wait a minute. Why did I come to the metro screen ? Wasn't I going to do something for Bob ? Staring in vain at the metro tiles, you can't see that original email. The context of why you are back at this screen is lost. You forget about Clare's agency altogether, and phone your broker.<br /><br />Microsoft are reacting to the tablet UI in an interesting manner, and perhaps it will work. Perhaps the "Generation Y" and Generation 2.Y / Y++ can process all the additional information and still retain enough context to get the original work done without being side tracked.<br /><br />Perhaps Generation X is confined to the dustbin along with stackable windows - applications that actually run one under the other !? instead of side by side? how 20th century.<br /><br />Or perhaps everyone will be so sidetracked by the additional notifications and reduced user context, that they'll just not care about work anymore.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174676712124822844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13678848.post-31667948832812559792010-09-12T20:06:34.901-06:002010-09-12T20:06:34.901-06:00This set my heart on fire.
