<The GUI itself is the common interface that affects user learning curves, and the more complex the basic GUI is the longer it takes to learn. Adding IE to the GUI even for applications that do not need IE increases complexity for the user. When the GUI itself becomes inappropriate or overly complex for the application, then the application designer may want to replace the GUI for that application only, but never the reverse. > Nice speech, but the GUI for Windows has not changed to the detriment of the user at all. As a matter of fact, it has become more uniform. If you have IE4/5 and office 97/2000 installed, any MSFT file format opened by the browser transforms the browser's interface to that of the native application that created the document, an Office application - the most widely used application interface available. These interfaces are practically identical to the IE interface except for the native commands of the Office file. As for modular software, you should take the sermon to NSCP, not MSFT. MSFT's stuff is much more modular than NSCPs.
