IE7 UI is Probably Going to Suck
10th Apr 2006, 09:19 GMT
Here's the problem with Daniel Glazman's IE7b2 UI report: he's spot-on. Major "ouches" to Microsoft. I didn't want to agree with him, given that he hasn't quite developed a killer experience in NVU - but he's really right, and it's really sad: In terms of UI, this IE 7 beta 2 certainly does not feel like a beta, id est something not far away from final version. The whole UI seems unpolished and is sometimes very inconsistent. It really seems the graphics design - and even more iconography - is done without general direction, reusing bits coming from elsewhere, without graphical charter. Overall, and if I compare Firefox 1.0 or Firefox 1.5 and IE7b2, Firefox is far ahead of IE in terms of usability, accessibility, extensibility. My guess is that when IE7 goes gold, more people will be driven to start using Firefox. Thank *GOD* for Maxthon.
