Part 2 of 3 Sugar Evaluation

PART TWO: USER INTERFACE
Complete a variety of labelled screenshots which illustrate the differences between these user interfaces

Windows (WIMP – windows, icons, menus, pointers – as in MSOffice 2003)

Windows (ribbons, contextual tabs, galleries – as in MSOffice 2007)

Sugar (Frame replaces menubar, Journal replaces file system hierarchy, Community – didn’t work for us,)

Linux command line (similar to DOS)

Which user interface do you prefer. Rate them in order. Give reasons.

I Prefer the MSOffice 07 Ribbon because it was very user friendly and easy for me to use. It was the first software I upgraded which is why it is easy for me to use.

MSOffice 03 Wimp, is scond as it was the first program I used properly. It had a easy to use system and friendly. One problem that I can pick is that you had to know in advanced for looking for different things eg if you wanted word font and did'nt have it on the toolbar it was a bit difficult to try and find it.

Sugar is Third as it is easy to use however most things on it are very childish. It is something that I wouldnt use as it doesnt support most things I do on a computer.

Linux Command Line is Last because I have NO Clue on how to use it and it doesnt do anything I do on a computer.
