TONT 43023 为什么新开始菜单在『所有程序』下面不启用Intellimenu?

想你所想……目前仍然只是个空想。

Common request:

我们总接到这样的要求:

I want to be able to turn on personalized menus (Intellimenus) when in XP Start Menu mode.

我想在XP开始菜单模式(译注:即中文版中的双栏『开始』菜单,不同于经典『开始』菜单的那种)里启用个性化菜单(Intellimenus,译注:即根据用户操作习惯,自动对不常用项目进行折叠的设计)。

Imagine if Intellimenus were enabled with the XP Start Menu.

想象一下在XP开始菜单中启用Intellimenus的效果吧。

You use 5 apps; the rest are not used much. (Studies show that 5 is the typical number of unique applications users run on a regular basis. All the rest are rare.)

你(经常)使用5个应用,其它的则不怎么常用。(研究表明5是用户经常性使用的应用数目,其它数目都很罕见)

Those 5 apps are on the MFU.

然后这5个应用会被列为最常使用的应用程序(MFU,Most Frequently Used)。

You decide today you want to run some other app, one of those other apps that you run rarely.

有一天你决定调用另一个应用,一个平常你不怎么用的应用程序。

You click All Programs.

你在『所用程序』上点了一下。

You can’t find the app because it got chevroned away. It got chevroned away because it’s a rare app, by definition … if it were a popular app it would be on the MFU already!

然而你找不到那个应用,因为它被排除掉了(译注:chevron指『V字型』,即在菜单中隐藏不常用项之后,用于展开未显示项的那个『V』箭头),因为它按照定义是个不常用应用…… 要是常用的话,早就出现在最常使用的应用程序列表上了!

If you are a naive user, you say “Hey, who uninstalled all my apps? It’s missing from All Programs!” It’s kind of a misnomer to call it “All Programs” when in fact it doesn’t show all your programs.

要是你比较天真的话,大概会想『我去,谁把我装的应用给卸了,『所有程序』里面都找不到它!』何况这时候这个『所有程序』已经名不副实了,因为它实际上没有展现你的『所有程序』。

If you are an experienced user, you say, “Sigh, why do I have to keep clicking this chevron? The whole reason I’m going to ‘All Programs’ is that I want to run an app I haven’t run in a long time, duh. The chevrons should be pre-expanded, save me a click!”

如果你是个老司机,大概会想,『诶,我干啥要多点一下那个向下的小箭头啊,我点『所有程序』不就是为了运行那个好久没用的程序吗,那个小箭头应该直接全展开,浪费我鼠标微动寿命吗这不是。』

In other words, if we had Intellimenus enabled on All Programs, it would just show you your MFU again, since the MFU and Intellimenus are both showing the same information, just in different ways. That’s clearly pointless.

换句话说,如果在『所有程序』里启用Intellimenus,(『所有程序』)只是把你的最常用程序列表又显示了一遍而已,因为最常用程序列表和Intellimenus展示的信息是相通的,只是表现形式不同而已。

Think of “All Programs” as a really big chevron. The MFU is the collapsed version. All Programs is the expanded version.

可以将『所有程序』视为一个大号的展开按钮,最常用程序列表就是展开前的版本,而『所有程序』就是展开后的样子。
