i saw on american idol this week (haha) that old school - means - old stuff that is ok to like..
so .. it is ok to like.. coke, cause it's old school.* or to like andrew lloyd webber - because it is old school
so if anything is old school*it is Windows?
how many years... 20? 30?
my question - is enough "cred" ..enough "props" being paid to old school Windows (and maybe office)
the Volks Beetle was old school - and updated - but it is the same design
has Windows lost it's old school cool - by removing it?* not improving it / offereing it?
is the new stuff (vista / ribbon) nice - but some - old schoolers dont like it?
when i see teal and gray i think of windows - like comfort food.* or green and blue xp... conotates - happy.
now we have black (vista) ...ok.* is it going to just continue changing in every release?
imho - id make those*3 a "stack" to build on
youve got the blue luna for business, black vista for media, new and improved classic for win95+...
so you take your past - and make it categories - to expand apon
not just willy nilly change windows colours with no goal?
or should windows just change its UI / colurs per user testing (or whatever they do now)?
edit: new ones could be added - but they would then also need to be supported - so when todays 18yr olds are 43 - they get comfort food too
?
i guess im saying - a UI forecast - framework.. something thats not random vs ..random
edit - plus there is alot of stuff that seems third or fourth tier design (within huge agency i mean)
who is putting the thought into brand and legacy and ..etc.. the vista people were all fired..
