So after reading DOET (or rather refreshing my memory) I saw the expectations the book had for computers and felt that alot of them were obsolete. So I'm going to talk about usability issues with the current Mac and PC and what they're doing well or horribly design-wise. As a side note, while creating the faults of windows, I found alot of its faults were non-existent with the mac.
Windows makes alot of things invisible in the design, such as the monitor power button or the brightness of the screen button. Windows does not give feedback ...audio feedback for actions you're doing. Mac automatically gives audio feedback . Faults of the mac are that it's not easy to left click using the shortcuts. Also the one-click mouse is frustrating.
Unix and Linux are other user systems.
Some suggestions are for the mac to instill a left click in the mac and make it obvious.
Windows could make things more visible, such as placing the buttons on the face of the monitor rather than hiding under it. Also it should automatically give more audio feedback such as when throwing things away.
