Are you giving too much options to users?


More I think about it. I think Desktop environment for end users have became too feature full for end users. I'm not a fan of Apple or Apple products, but I'm a fan of Steve Job's ideas. Clean and simple are what end users need. How are you doing it to deploy these ideas? How are you ripping apart your desktop environment to make the default enterprise simple to use? Do you use icons, launchers, or other tools? In Linux, we have all the tools in the world, but things take time to build these ideas. What are some of you doing?

Thanks

I'm not really a newbie. I have been using Debian for about eight to ten years now. Past few years, I have been really researching and pushing a way to go mostly Linux on Enterprise. I'm not only talking technology. I'm talking ideas you can sell to business people. Reason, Linux isn't getting anywhere in the Enterprise is we can't no longer think like an user even we interact with them. What MS has and many of us don't is simple. They spend millions on test markets. They take surveys of their users. I don't think we are making corporate Desktop environment simple enough. It has to little more than Outlook and MSOFFICE. I know large companies have more staffs to evaluate and beta test segment to test users. Some large financial firms even have QAs to test before any rollouts. I want to know what some of you have found. It is really hard to believe how some of you just stuck Ubuntu machines on sales guys and they are happy with it. I have been beta testing on few end users and it is becoming a harder push.
