While reading articles via Google news, as I’m prone to do, I clicked on an article titled: Microsoft targets Linux, IBM with Windows Server for really small biz. My opinion of the article will be noted in my next article. It’s not so much the article itself, but computerworld.com that rubbed me wrong.
One tenant of designing web sites is not to muck around with the user’s computer. In the case of computerworld.com they seem to have forgotten that messing with the user’s desktop pisses them (ok me ) off!
It’s bad enough computerworld.com tries to throw-up a pop-up with each visit, but they change the size of my browser window too. Pop-up’s I tolerate, resizing my window is a no no. Needless to say, it’ll be a while before I return to computerworld.com.
