Ijust went to Hillel Cooperman’s session on AERO, the new Longhorn userexperience. Hillel is rivaling Doug Purdy as my favorite presenter thusfar at the PDC.
There were a couple of guys I work with who were sort of surprised that Iwanted to go to this presentation. Their attitude was “we build softwarefor the corporate enterprise. Our customers don’t treat usability as ahigh priority”. That’s a misguided idea: usability is an importantconcern in any software system, corporate or consumer. Software that presents agreat user experience makes for happier users and lower support costs (the bestquestion is the one that you don’t have to answer).
