Micorosft Live Messenger Bad Design

Another example of bad design at Microsoft. Here I have to choose one option and then hit OK. Why make me click twice? Why have a cancel button? This is an action that requires a decision, not chickening out.

Instead of me just complaining about it, I offer here is a replacement design. It is amateurish, the computer equivalent of a stick figure, but, at least I can come up with a good design without being worth 68 billion dollars.

In this design, it is clear what your choices are: ALLOW or BLOCk. It also allows you to make this choice with ONE click instead of two. Imagine how much more productive America would be if everyone of its 300 million inhabitants saved one click per day!
