Microsoft Has Been Watching, and It Says You're Getting Used To Windows 8 675

Posted by samzenpus from the how-I-learned-to-love-windows dept.
Dupple writes "Microsoft's user data shows that users are getting used to dealing with the Windows 8 user interface, reports this article at MIT Technology Review. Despite some of the more scathing reviews of Windows 8, ordinary users are getting along with it just fine, according to Julie Larson-Green, the Microsoft executive who leads Windows product development. Data collected automatically from some Windows users, she says, show they are adjusting to some of the new operating system's controversial features without problems 'So far we're seeing very encouraging things,' Larson-Green says of the large volume of data that Microsoft receives every day from people using Windows 8 who have chosen to join the company's 'customer experience improvement program.' All users are invited to enroll in that program when they first log into the new operating system. If they do so, anonymized information about how they are using the operating system is sent to Microsoft. Referring to complaints from some quarters, Larson-Green says: 'Even with the rumblings, we feel confident that it's a moment in time more than an actual problem.'"

      I work desktop IT for a company in fortune's top 10. We are not moving everything there (yet) but we definitely are standardizing it for the enterprise and will probably move large numbers (tens of thousands) of users there. Enterprises aren't as scared of 8 as they were of Vista. Roll-out of a new os in a large enterprise takes time and I'm sure once the projects have been worked at various companies many will be moving.

All of our early-adopters have been running Win8E for months now and the only issues we have seen have been related to IE10. Most of these issues have been dealt with by using group policy to set compatibility mode for specific sites.

          Wow that info is outdated.

          IE 10 != IE 6 by a longshot! It is the most caught up version of IE yet that supports HTML 5, CSS 3, and has great hardware acceleration and loads up sites as fast if not faster than Chrome. It is the only browser that is double sandboxed against hep spray attacks, as well as ASLR, and DEP.

          I am not an IE fan nor am I even using it right now (Chrome), but for using shitty ancient web apps optimized for IE 7 and IE 8 is it the only option. Also only IE is enterprise grade with .MSI and group policies and AD integration so you can manage 9,000 easily with different settings for different OUs and groups such as one for faculty, another for students etc.

          If you have a problem with this go harass Mozilla for not making Firefox enterprise friendly. Until that time comes we are staying IE only. With the later releases following standards and behaving like Chrome and Firefox it is not a big of an issue as it once was.

In time people can get used to all sorts of things, an operating system shouldn't be one of them. It should just work, and get out of the way of the user and be intuitive.

    I've found that I use the mouse less for launching apps when using Windows 8 which I didn't in Windows 7, despite the functionality being the same. Press the Windows key, start typing an app / file name, and hit Return to launch. While the Start Menu existed, I was using the mouse, because we navigate WIMP UIs with a mouse. The Start Screen took that away; It was a full-screen interface all of its own, without menus, and that broke the psychological boundary between me pointing-and-clicking and moving over fully to the keyboard for launching apps.

    So, now I've learned that behaviour instead, I've swapped back to Windows 7 with its sensible desktop UI :) Thanks again, Microsoft!

    Of course, this meant that we had to play pranks on him. Because that's what you do to people you like, right?

    Our best prank was what we did to his computer. We wrote a small program that ran in the background and drew a dot in the center of the screen on top of whatever was running. This dot grew bigger over time; at first it was just one pixel wide, but after a week it was over twenty.

    One morning, just over a week after we'd secretly installed it onto the intern's computer, he called me into his cubicle and asked me if I had ever heard of "dead pixels on a CRT". I said no, holding back the laughter, and politely suggested that he try reinstalling his graphics card drivers. He declined, and said that was too much effort and he would just live with it.

    The intern was fully prepared to live with this large, expanding, black dot in the center of his monitor. It was nothing but sheer annoyance, but he was willing to ignore it.
    At this point we caved and uninstalled the software.

    That experience taught me that users will put up with just about anything. As long as it doesn't outright prevent them from doing their job (eg, the network card has died), they will find some way to soldier on.

    What Larson-Green fails to take into account is that technically experienced users (1) are still running Windows 7, and (2) turn off Customer Experience Improvement Program anyway for privacy reasons.

    In addition, most corporations will turn off Customer Experience Improvement Program via group policy, for the same reasons power users do. (Even if it's not supposed to be personally identifiable, why risk sending more personal/corporate information to Microsoft than you have to?) So CEIP turns out to measure little more than the responses of technically inexperienced users who buy cheap OEM systems – a shrinking demographic.

    Microsoft needs to remember that business users and power users, not the dumbasses who buy $299 eMachines, are its real customer base.

    ... I'd like to know what percentage of users ticked "yes" to : 'do you want to enroll in the customer experience improvement program?' My hunch is that such a group suffers from two defects:

    1. It's self selecting, and selection is based practically on a positive view of Microsoft products;
    2.it might be too small to be representative of the whole, and no data on enrollment is available in the article.

    moreover, the article says:

    "[...]The data collected by Microsoft also show that people are becoming more familiar with the new features over time, says Larson-Green. She previously led a redesign of the Microsoft Office interface that, in 2007, replaced text-based menus with a more visual “ribbon interface,” an initially controversial change that is now widely accepted as an example of good design. “Two days to two weeks is what we used to say in Office, and it’s similar in Windows 8,” she says.

    So my quick summary: Microsoft wants me to believe that a group, selected according to criteria and methods that would have my statistics professor at the University screaming that I am a confounded moron, is right in believing that windows 8 does not have a usability problem, and therefore I am also a confounded moron because I use windows 7 with the XP menus. Ah, I did not mention that there's no word on how would I use touch on my installed screen base, which does not have a touch interface.
