Different's Creative Director on Windows 8 UI
Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 10:03AM Anthony Colfelt (@colfelt on Twitter) was quoted in an IT News article about the user interface of new Windows 8 yesterday.
“Hallelujah, at last, someone got it!” said Anthony Colfelt, Creative Director at web user experience firm, Different.
Microsoft’s tiles “take the best from informational web-design and applies it to the main computer UI,” he said.
He was particularly impressed that Microsoft has chosen to run applications developed with HTML 5 and Javascript, to prepare for an “inevitable shift toward light-weight terminal computers that rely on web-served applications.”
Colfelt said Microsoft was “finally attempting to lead in the area of UI and experience, rather than following Apple.”
