Original OSNews Interviews I met Brad Wardell, Stardock's CEO, two weeks ago in San Fransisco. Stardock are mostly known for creating WindowBlinds. But Stardock has a long history, going back to the OS/2 days, releasing not only the most 'successful' OS/2 application ever, Object Desktop, but also a number of games. Today Stardock still releases games and UI enhancement tools for Windows, but the main focus is still Object Desktop. Read more for our interview with Brad, his views on theming, the future of UIs and more.

OS X' UI
by stew on Mon 1st Apr 2002 21:58 UTC

I use OS X a lot by choice, and I don't think it has a good UI. As mentioned in the interview, it's very "demoable" but it really gets in your way when you're trying to get work done. MacOS 9's or BeOS' UIs are a lot better when it comes down to plain usability. Eye candy is nice for 30 minutes, but after that it's just in your way.
