You said IT in a general sense. My apologies but I don't think you made it very clear.

We're getting WAY off topic but have you ever even used Exchange or did you look at it and couldn't figure it out after 10 seconds, so now it sucks? I support many clients in IT and when a new client comes onboard and doesn't have Exchange, I cringe.
What.
You don't have to be stuck. Xbox is calling you.
I have complete confidence that this UI will be awesome.
I wonder if we'll be able to communicate with ps3 users? It would make a ridiculous amount of sense for us to chat back and forth and for them to come watch our streams. Make the firmware update happen Sony.
Jeff_Rigby should be happy with that browser, lol.

What makes you say that? (Honest Question)

Looks like they open the web browser and proceed to show us how amazing it is to move the cursor with the fucking analogue stick.

Can someone explain to me why this UI is terrible? Its clean and minimalist, just like the XMB.
The browser could use some work but apart from that im not seeing the issue.

Themes are useless, regardless.

HHmmmmm....
Tell that to my beautiful Dynamic PS3 theme.
Oh and my girlfriend said hi

Nobody can explain that because its not. It's obviously designed with speed and overview in mind, and appears to deliver both, which is what a GUI should set out to do. The X/Y orientation of the menu navigation could work beautifully with touchpad wipes on the controller.
What people mean is "This UI doesn't look as flashy as the xbox one's", which is fair, since its an opinion.

Yeah, I'm hoping whenever they show an official video for the UI being demoed, that they show how you can change the background.

You sound like one of those people who claim they're not a racist because they've got black friends.
Owning and using a PS3 doesn't mean that you're not a shrill. Not that I'm suggesting you are.

Consumers and enterprise like different things.
This is awesome. Thank you.
For people too lazy to search for themselves, here is a manual to find the 16 min. YouTube vid.
Method One:
1) Go to http://www.youtube.com/
2) In the search box, type: "PS4 user interface" (without '' )
3) Press enter on your keyboard
4) Click on "Filters" right below the search box
5) Select upload date "Today"
6) Look for "Playstation 4 Interface Overview & ALL Features Leaked 16 Minutes PS4". It's probably somewhere between the first five videos.
7) Click that video
8) Watch the video
9) ???
10) DONE!
Method Two:
1) Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgXWrJOwu68
2) Watch the video
3) ???
4) DONE!

I guess, I should have said, "In my opinion."
I still have the sparkly default PS3 theme, and one of the original Xbox 360 themes on my consoles.

looks lame as hell compared to the Xbox One's UI, but I am glad they are not wasting that much hardware resources on it.

My only hope is that there is a customizable "Quick Menu". For instance:
Press L1 and a menu pops out from the left, which lists top to bottom quick links for:
-Last Game Played (would appear if it was a digital download or if it was disc based and the disc is in the system)
-Link to News Feed (What friends are up to, videos shared, etc.)
-2 or 3 customizable slots for your most used apps/settings (e.g. Netflix, Amazon Instant, PS Store)
You should be able to get to what you want to do with the system 80% of the time in no more than 3-4 clicks.

yeah thatd be neat. ps3 has a lot of useless options especially under system, way too partitioned ie; system settings, network settings, network system settings, it still takes me longer than it should to remember where system update is located.
if your OS needs a lot of ram to run efficiently it's probably not very efficient
i wondered why this video had so many down votes, well after watching for more than a minute i now know why
Kotaku updated their story indicating that Sony PR said the footage is "from a debug unit that is not at all representative of the final consumer experience". I'm sure there's some aspects from that video that will be in the final version but I personally am not taking any leaked UI stuff seriously. I'll wait for some official footage or until I actually have my PS4 which at this rate, it seems like the latter is more likely.

It looks fast, even if the image quality is horrible

He was overwhelmed by the sexiness of the interface so he had to look away and seek relief.

Right, because 'it's terrible' isn't an opinion.
If the rest of the UI looks good and that page godawful, it means the UI is inconsistent.
