Interaction differences between VISTA & OX

What is different between VISTA and OX?

-Different system operation!

Of couse there are different OS, but, what else in interaction? VISTA is gogerous and wonderful, OX is elegant, beautiful and effective. What exactly the differences are?

Firstly, the interface difference is most obvious character between them. OX is grey, in the contract, VISTA is blue or gree or yellow? As i mentioned in the past post that the core of interaction activities is effectiveness which directly decides user experiences and system ability.  When people use long time VISTA, they will find that the fantastic background and colorful light effect are not so attractive any more. Strangely, the OX interface which is made up with grey and a little gradiant is always attractive.

Secondly, VISTA attracts people’s attention from work to system itself, it is too colorful to concentrate all the energy on work. Especially the beginner of VISTA, probably they would always look for some features but not work, too many settings, too many functions collected together and hard to find them. When goes to the term of OX, hardly people will lost their focus on work, why? The setting panel is easy and accessable, the features are useful and easy to manage, and the functions are so smart just like the system is only designed for this work. What else, it makes people enjoyable while doing the work, amazing!

The last difference is that, i think, VISTA’s effect is from OX. The animation, the window and the work tool, all of these have the shadow of OX. Do you think so?
