Windows 8 new interface - Jensen Harris

Another epic fail from Jensen Harris and his team of idiots at Microsoft's 'UI' design team. I can't believe he has the nerve to actually present yet another stupid, atrocious design to the world - after 'The Ribbon', which MOST users hate, because it's BADLY DESIGNED.
But no, Microsoft still employ him and his team of latte sipping nerds, who know sod all about what most people actually want from a computer interface, and they are now going to force this abomination on the world.
You can see just how bad the design is by the stupid way that he drags other applications onto the screen - how do I find or see which applications are running, and jump straight to the one I want? I often copy text from one app to another - that should be fun, using Jensen's 'magic gestures' - how cutting edge! How original! How pointless and stupid!
The problem is that Jensen Harris doesn't CARE whether he makes life hell for hundreds of millions of people with his crap interfaces, all that matters is his ego. He would rather not know that you don't like his designs, because who cares whether it takes you twice as long to accomplish a task, coupled with endless frustration? He doesn't, that's for sure.
What a ridiculous joke Microsoft have become.

By the way, you can comment on this version of the video... Microsoft obviously don't want to hear what their audience have to say about their latest train wreck, on their version of the video - comments have been disabled...

If Jensen Harris designed a car, he would put the steering wheel in the boot, the gas pedal in the glove compartment, and have a big shiny icon on the dashboard saying 'Go'...

The man is an idiot and shouldn't be let anywhere near a computer, let alone allowed to design user interfaces for Microsoft, which hundreds of millions of people are FORCED to use... (by our employers, who are also too stupid to care about the effects this has on their staff).

There will be early versions of Windows 8 available for download later this year which you can comment on to your heart's content. This is how Microsoft have done things for years - they gather statistics on how you use the software, in addition to your feedback, and use that to create a better product. They do listen to people.

If you hate the Ribbon UI so much, why don't you use UbitMenu or minimise it and use the keyboard shortcuts?

@daverayment "They do listen to people." LOL...

I can't use UbitMenu because, like hundreds of MILLIONS of people, I am FORCED to use the Ribbon by my employer. You idiot.

The keyboard shortcuts are hardly an intuitive way to use the Ribbon. Again, you're an idiot. Anybody who defends the pile of crap that is 'the Ribbon' is an idiot.

This video just shows how stupid Jensen Harris and his team of idiots is - every time they come up with a WORSE interface for the user.

It seems Microsoft is going down. Not that I'm happy about it but I thought something like that will never happen in my lifetime. I guess the saying "never say never" is true after all.

Wow.....

@wyrdwyrd "You also presume to know that some guy who's employed by a major company (even if they are the Evil Empire) and who spent years on the redesign of an interface also knows nothing of interface design."

Yes, I "presume" to know... because I can SEE how crap his 'interface' is. And most people agree with me! And Harris won't give people the simple OPTION of using the old drop down menu interface, precisely because he knows MOST of us would choose it.

@wyrdwyrd I'm one of the most users that thinks Office 2007 onwards is pure CRAP...you can't stop the net you can't bullshit here...Ms Office 2007 is just CRAP

[Nuvola75]

just another guy paid by MS....! Don't bother....that's why nobody cares about Jensen HArris blog, and why there you find only positive feedback...they censor negative feedback

[Nuvola75]

Jensen Harris you are the KING of the IDIOTS....put that damn ribbon up your large A44...windows 8 stands a chance against Lion just because Apple decided to screw with the interface or maybe because they hired somebody from YOUR team

it seems you guys want a new type of user the Orwellian user...

Looks like Windows Phone 7 which flopped and is 10 years behind! Where is the 3D??? Everything is going 3D!!! Samsung Galaxy S2 3D the phone will be called the Galaxy 3D and would face the likes of the LG Optimus 3D and the HTC EVO 3D. Windows 3D? Office 3D? P.S. You are showing us Windows Version 6.2!!
