Why does so much contemporary software think it's OK to lock the user
out? InstallShield, the horrible Windows installer, puts a fullscreen
window on top of everything while it's installing and disables the
minimize button so I can't hide it. My DVD player refuses to let me skip over certain
tracks (such as the inane Interpol warning) and forces me to watch
dumb transitions from screen to screen while I navigate menus.
Why do user interface designers think it is ever appropriate to prevent a user from taking an action? |
