It's all just about doing things easier isn't it?

In many of my external meetings I meet partners and customers who say things like the following:

 

  1. I want to focus on our business more
  2. I want it to just work
  3. Why does it not recognise this widget?
  4. We have to make this more simple for people to understand in order to grow the market!

 

It all reminds me of the comments from Dr Simon Cox in his whitepaper on High Productivity Computing. All great stuff - then I saw this post from Chris Parkes writing about the differences in UI and simplicity between Open Office and Microsoft Office 2007. Hmmm now who is the greater target audience the technically astute or the gang of people who just want to get their job done?

Just a few thoughts...
