Hi Seth,

okay so when you use the word "Terrible" you really mean "somewhat
unpolished"?

B/c it doesn't sound to me like you're talking about massive changes to
the interface or experience at all. I'm glad they can make a big
difference but 'terrible' in my mind invokes a ground-up redo. What
you've described doesn't  sound like that at all.

Well, I think at this point not having gone through the UIs and done a
bit of analysis, it was probably premature of me to make a judgement
either way on the rate of terrible or not-so-terribleness. :) It's
unpolished at a minimum if you look the poor examples I gave.

I've attached an email I received from a very technical Java developer
writing about his F11 install experience this past weekend, after
remembering I had it. I would qualify it as being even worse than
terrible which is probably why the word came to mind in the first place. :(


None of that users issues seem like 'interface design' issues. They seem entirely like 'hardware issues' followed by 'not everything works' but I don't know how the interface design is at fault.

Is it the fault of the interface that there's an issue with X on certain graphic cards?

I guess I'm having trouble figuring out what you want to fix here.

If the issue is the interface design - then great but I daresay the present interface is not "terrible".

If the issue is you want all hardware to work no matter what then I think you're tilting at windmills.
