Let’s talk about design in Software Update… This is SU in Mac OS X Tiger. It was a delight to use.

It was simple and clean in the sense that it was as Albert Einstein once said: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

The design of UI and SU these days is cheap design. It’s “clean” & “simple” in the sense most UI is removed. There’s no thought behind it other than to show as much white background as possible.

Real design is purposeful & deliberate.

And it worked.
