I think the window control in Windows is very nice. Double click the bar to maximize / shrink, double click the upper left file menu to close. Individual button options to the right. And maximizing actually means maximizing, not fit to window contents, which can be done by resizing the window how you see fit.
 
I can't believe how stupid you all are sometimes. Don't you see the lower case i? Don't you know what that means? How can you argue against a letter that clearly makes their products superior?

You mean like the cheesy fade-in when you move your mouse? Also, the stubbornness to limit the text on the page to 28 characters is right up there with Steve Jobs' obsession with the one-button mouse.

Lack of design is *not* good design.

What browser are you using? I'm using Opera and it doesn't seem to fade when moving the mouse.

What 28 character limit? I'm mashing randomly on the keyboard and it keeps scrolling over. I could probably type hundreds of character into this.

If you want to know what bad design is, look at anything on microsoft's websites. It always feels like I need to hunt around for what I'm looking for. When downloading patches, the download button will be the smallest button on the page and it will be over on the right side where one would expect advertisements to be.
 
LOL people saying Goggle.com has a great UI, wow that's one of the most ass crazy things I've ever heard. I 2nd that stupid ass cheesy fade in, if Google didn't give the results it did I'd stay away from it at all costs. Google's popular in spite of having one of the lamest UI's in the history of the interweb! But in Googles defense about the fade in, not everyone see's it. Google's always making some changes to their page and a lot of them seem to only show up for random people. Gotta love how inconsistent their home page is from PC to PC. I get the fade in, but my dad has never seen it.


Random UI's are the awesome sauce!

It's disabled right now for Pac-Man. Check tomorrow.

What I mean is they only allow 28 characters to appear on the home page to avoid clutter. Don't know if that's true with the new UI, which brings me to another beef with the Google design -- redundant UI.

Plus those icons on the left look like a clown puked up his Lucky Charms. They really need to hire a good design firm.

d00d those icons are AWESOME SAUCE! If you hate on Googles clearly superior UI you don't know anything about what makes a UI good in the first place. I mean simple as shit UI with ugly ass icons = t3h w1ns! If you could only understand UI's and the benefits of redundancy. I mean I have TWO places on the same screen I can click to get to my Froogle, WOOPWOOP!
 
are we now mocking google.com's design? At least it's nowhere close to as complicated as trying to download Quicktime from Apple's site without getting the whole iTunes installer. I always end up getting it from filehippo.com whenever I need Quicktime (and uninstall it right after). I don't need it for playback any more since WMP12 supports it natively (for the most part, apparently glitches may occur with some legacy QT codecs) but some video editing suites require it to import videos.

I don't really have enough experience with OS X but their media playback software is some of the buggiest I've ever used. And I don't get why every minor bugfix to iTunes requires you to download the whole 100+ MB installer file. Haven't they figured out pushing hotfixes/patches through an Update feature, like every other software developer on Earth?

Apple makes good UI? LOL...

One-button mouse... WTF!?
Ejecting CD/floppy disk is done by dragging it into the trash can... WTF!?
Minimize/maximize/close in the upper left corner of the window.. WTF!?
No taskbar... WTF!?
etc.
etc.

Apple does not maximize.
 
The ability to play Pac-Man on Google's homepage makes Google the greatest thing ever.

The Greatest.

There is no i in Apple.
 
I once knew this Apple rep that had an Apple tattoo on her lower leg. Crazy bitch is crazy.

Also, Apple software is some of the bug-ridden, most bloated I've ever used. They need better software designers. Also, trying to right-click on a Powerbook is akin to doing unnatural things with your fingers.
