Hi,
When I look around at the windowing/UI wars of the last few years, I begin
to get a small sense of frustration. Granted that Open Look may be
better/worse than OSF/Motif or whatever, it appears that the concept
of truly interacting with a user is lagging behind the technology. For
example, is NeXTstep indeed more "useable" than MACintosh and why. Does
Metaphor really ease the windowing use of Unix systems.
Where do you see Windowing systems going? What features do we need in
User Interfaces. Are they available today, if so who has them? What do
we REALLY need to do?
And yes, the VMS system calls LIB$READ_MIND and LIB$DO_WHAT_I_MEAN are
exactly what I had in mind ;-) (please forgive the VMS :-))
Replies by mail accepted and summary will be posted.
