[ge-talk] glasselevator: User Interface

[Peter Ostrander]

A rather intruiging interface design is being done at the Mezzo project.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzo_(desktop_environment)

I like the ideas on the desktop.  It does away with the windows feel that is common to a lot of guis, though it seems that be and mac have been spared mostly of this problem.  Still though, this is a very easy way to present way to the end user.  I don't like how this concept seems to dumb down the computer.  However in many cases, I praise any gui that dumbs things down as I hate doing tech support for people that haven't a clue how to use a mouse.
