Windows 7 shutdown mislead users
Reason -
1. On mouse over Shutdown and Arrow gets highlighted the same time. but other side.. both have different purpose
Shutdown - to shutdown system
Arrow - This gives different options
I have tested the same with different users, most of the users were not able to get Shutdown in first effort.
What happens... when user try to shutdown
Start >>Shutdown and Mouse Over Shutdown [shutdown and arrow gets highlight same time]
How it misleads
1. User's purpose is to shutdown OS, but because of Arrow User gets distracted
2. User clicks on Arrow, which shows some technical words like HIBERNATE | SWITCH user.. which are not common for all users.
3. Important there is no SHUTDOWN option here.
Solution -
Simply, both should be highlighted separately.
I got to know this, when my wife was trying to shutdown my WIN 7 OS... it was very interesting to see her effort :)
