Gadgetophile (great blog, by the way) has mentioned something today that really seems to hit the nail on the head to me.
Microsoft has upped security so that when a program that could be potentially harmful is run, either by the user or by some other means, Windows will ask permission before actually running it. The dialogue contains two buttons – Allow and Cancel – but Microsoft have totally missed a principal design idea with this: user tunnel vision.
These boxes will very quickly become an automatic thing for less tech-savvy users; automatically clicking Allow, that is. Gadgetophile uses the example that the box will soon look like it only has one button to the user – the ‘Make it Work’ button, and I completely agree with this.
Click below to see the pictures. I’ll take sudo any day.
