Hello Tracy —
Just a suggestion (after playing with DTS for a little while):
The user interface is just a bit below par, IMHO. The one thing that
can really cheese me off about Windows apps is when they don't conform to
already established application standards. For instance, the Help menu is in a
sub-menu under File — a true no-no! Help _always_ goes on the right of the
menus, elsewise, we get confused.
While I'm nitpicking, are there any plans to make the interface more
attractive? It's a bit stark and not too terribly pleasing, at least not
aesthetically. If one is to work in this all day, I think the option to have a
consistant, 3-D interface would be a nice one.
Anyway, these are (of course) just my opinions, though I would like to see some
updates soon. Even if Microsoft can't get Chicago out in time, they sure know
how to make it look really nice — a hint most companies would do well to take!
Thanks for your time.
