[edit] Add pictures of Windows GUI and Mac GUI
Someone should put there good informative photos of Windows from XP to 7 and Mac OS X. It's essential to have a comparison between the main GUIs. It's not against the fair use policy. 13:58, 18 March 2011 (UTC)FinFihlman
[edit] Ribbons
It's an absolutely moronic trend even worse than Bob (talk about the dumbing-down of computing!), but some mention in the post-WIMP section should include the new "intuitive" Ribbons that Microsoft is using to augment or replace traditional menus and tool bars (universal menus and structure being the root of the WIMP system). It will certainly spell the end of not only intelligent computing but general computer education and the ability to 'troubleshoot' your way into learning any new piece of software on-the-fly, but it's a current fact that needs to be listed for as long as we're stuck with it under the current Windows monopoly... and it is most certainly a monopoly when no one outside of the USA uses OSX. -Reticuli 64.93.132.79 (talk) 19:32, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- You're entitled to your opinions. I'm a heavy Office user and find the Ribbon a much better approach to its use case (hundreds of options) than the old 2003 toolbars ever was. It really isn't post-WIMP at all. Au contraire, it's a pure Icons+Pointer evolution of the classic toolbar, with a (really small) mix of menus in it. It could be included as a one-liner in the Windows section of the History of the graphical user interface, 'cause that's its place in the grand scheme of things.

- The visible graphical interface features of an application are sometimes referred to as "chrome".'[1]
