IT’S ALL ABOUT THE USER
EXPERIENCE
Your average PC user
• He knows how to surf the web.
• He knows how to watch videos with his computer.
• He does his budgets in Excel.
• Write letters to his family using Word.
• Send and receive e-mail, using Outlook Express.
• Watch videos/DVDs and play music/MP3s.
• Play the games included in WinXP
• Never customized windows. Not even changed the default
resolution.
• Never touched the control panel.
• Never used the command line.
Wants freedom
• In choosing his pc
• In choosing his supplier
But
• Does not like freedom when it comes to the apps he uses
CALCULATOR, CALCULATOR,
CALCULATOR, MY KINGDOM FOR A
CALCULATOR
• Windows users:
– Start – Programs – Accessories – Calculator
• Linux users:
– Multiple applications, different by distro
– Confusion?
• Text edit
– Windows users: textedit
– Linux users: Kate, VIM, Emacs, Kjots, Knotes, Pico, Joe, …
An average user does not understand this
CHOICE IMPLIES COMPLEXITY
Conclusion?
• Users don’t want to have to consult the manual to use his
mail program.
• He doesn’t want to feel stupid when he opens his mail
client.
• He simply wants to be able to turn his computer on, log on
to the Internet, write that mail, visit that website, write his
letters, play his videos, listen to his music.
• He doesn’t care if his software is perfect - after all, he has
been using Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, Word.
• He has also been infected by all sorts of spyware, trojans,
worms and viruses.
• He has a less average pc buddy to assist
