You know the ones with big read “Access Denied” messages that look nothing like anything you have ever seen in real life.

If the GUI is completely terrible, no one will give it a second glance, even if the functionality is good.</p> <p>As a student, I wish I heard more CS Professors give proper credit to the importance of a good GUI.

Making a good GUI certainly requires that.</p> <p>@allynbauer</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9954090" width="1" height="1">
