Comments on: Apple, Innovation, and Me http://bokardo.com/archives/apple_innovation_me/ Interface Design & UX by Joshua Porter Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:28:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Gordon http://bokardo.com/archives/apple_innovation_me/#comment-249 Gordon Unknown, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://bokardocom.siteprotect.net/wordpress/?p=31#comment-249 I think where the PC/Windows market suffers is lack of knowledge on users part. This is where I think Macs have a huge edge, in that their design makes simple things simple. Er.. I'm not saying Mac users are stupid! As you say, the design of Mac products always seem more intuitive than anything in the Windows world. To change something basic in Windows you need to know to do x, y, and z (never forgetting about a). If you don't have a certain level of knowledge it all starts to go wrong. Anyway, I'm a Windows XP user, who will one day buy a Mac. Posts like yours only help to re-enforce that commitment, thanks.

People are far more productive when they aren't fighting the system in which they work. I use both Mac and PC and every time I use my Mac I'm always reminded of why I like it more than my PC.
