Creating the Windows 8 user experience - Building Windows 8 - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
3 days ago by fjordaan
I thought it would be useful to take a step back and describe a little bit of the background of how the Windows 8 user interface was designed, and discuss some of the decisions we’ve made and the goals of this new experience in more detail. [Jensen Harris, Director of Program Management for our User Experience team, authored this post.]

I'm Regretting Going WP7 - The League of Paul
march 2011 by fjordaan
In truth, I usually fall somewhere in between - the pros generally outweighing the cons, but as of late Microsoft seems to be going out of their way to make it a miserable experience.

Communities Dominate Brands: Why Nokia OS Strategy is Right for Nokia, and shift to Android or Phone 7 would be madness (now)
february 2011 by fjordaan
Nokia cannot - cannot - abandon those when it transitions from dumbhones to smartphones. Nokia has to have a sensible, credible, long-term migration path from dumbphones to smartphones. The only way its management will be thanked in the year 2020, when all phones are smartphones, is if Nokia has managed to convert its HUGE global lead in dumbphones today, to a lead in smartphones sold at the end of the decade. If Nokia abandons that lead during this decade, then Nokia will become a laughing stock in MBA studies of how to destroy your own market leadership position (like IBM did in computers for example).

Where Microsoft beats Apple ¶ Personal Weblog of Joe Clark, Toronto
june 2010 by fjordaan
My esteemed, not-always-annoying colleague Stephen Coles is correct: Apple typography has been half-assed at best through the entire reign of OS X. Typography on the iPhone/iTouch and now iPad also isn’t good enough.

Thinking About Security : Microsoft’s Many Eyeballs and the Security Development Lifecycle

Hope is not a security strategy. By contrast, the Security Development Lifecycle is a proven strategy. The many eyeballs argument is neat, tidy, compelling, and wrong.

Our industry has collectively taught average people over the last few decades that computers should be feared and are always a single misstep from breaking. [...] The upgrade market for average PC owners is dead. We killed it.

nano touch homepage
october 2009 by fjordaan
Back-of-device touch input can enable pointing input on very small screens. This enables building new types of devices, such as touch-capable electronic jewelry. Here are four of the back-of-device designs we envision (a) pendant, (b) clip-on (b) watch, and (b) ring. Screen diagonals range from 2.5" to less than half an inch.

Automatic Patch-Based Exploit Generation
may 2008 by fjordaan
Attackers can simply wait for a patch to be released, use these techniques, and with reasonable chance, produce a working exploit within seconds. Coupled with a worm, all vulnerable hosts could be compromised before most are even aware a patch is available, let alone download it. Thus, Microsoft should redesign Windows Update. We propose solutions which prevent several possible schemes, some of which could be done with existing technology.
