Worst GUI system you've seen
« on: 3 March 2006, 22:49 »
The worst of the worst of GUI systems I've seen is Plan 9. Mac Classic is also fairly bad to the newb with little self explantory buttons.

Nothing wrong with amiga. More reliable than XP.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

I have nothing against Amiga; in fact I like Amiga. But Workbench 1.0 was ugly as sin.

Here's a screenshot of the more modern Amiga OS 4:

All Window$ have shitty GUI ... they're not logical at all ...

the most logical GUI is (in my opinion of course) GNOME :D

This kid speaks the truth. ;)

What's with the hatred for Mac Classic?  I thought the interface was pretty great.  Oh, and criticizing Plan 9 for a bad GUI isn't really fair.  They aren't trying to make it a "usable" OS so to say...it's used for research.

I love Mac classic's interface. simple, unobtrusive and very grey... three things that I can appreciate.
