Windows UI "consistency"
Linux lacks UI polish. MS lacks solid guts. It would seem a lot easier to add some UI consistency and plug & play than to get rid of DLLs and the registry. It may well turn out both OS's have totally intractable POLITICAL problems. If someone secretly gave Mr. Gates and Mr. Torvalds a shot in the bum of

Going only some way in that direction breaks UI consistency. If you are constantly afraid of breaking consistency with the previous version, then you'll never make any progress.

Windoze 2000 - just as shitty as ever
The consistency of the control panel for the purposes of configuration is strictly preserved. This doesn't mean it's illegal to add shortcuts, like the control strip. It just means that completeness and consistency are kept sacred. The NeXT UI congregates many different configuration option under a single item's

Minor UI Consistency Nit
The Unix UI is a consistency nightmare. I'd love to see David K Every over at Mackido give it the same treatment he gives the Windows UI (and the MacOS UI and the OS/2 UI), but I suspect that wouldn't further his agenda. The Unix interface is the command line, and last I checked, it was consistent across some dozen

X vs. Consistent UI (was: DPS/DGS/X/ggi...)
Personally current UI design(or NeXT's design) is very good to me, and from my experience with other people in my company, the beauty of UI is not important. UI Consistency is more important to them.

Going only some way in that direction breaks UI consistency. Launcher shouldn't be there in the first place. It is inconsistent with the Finder. And why is it inconsistent with the Finder?

Mac OS X UI
Considering consistency only in terms of how much like Windows other GUIs are is missing the point of the matter. When programming for windows, I can make my own GUI, which is tiresome task most often, or can use windows own GUI, giving the user familiar feel. Pick up any programming book and read the part about UI
