I’m loving this pretend fubar of Gmail’s interface if it were re-tooled by the UI sloths at Microsoft.

For another design iteration in our inbox, we will need to camouflage the checkboxes next to the messages by putting a mail icon on top of them. Also, we need to break up messages from conversation threads into their individual parts. Furthermore, this version of Gmail needs to change from context-aware text ads to context-unaware graphic banners, which we’ll require to carry at least one clip art.

Even if this were to take place, it still wouldn’t suck as bad as Hotmail (or Windows Live Mail or the Cornucopia of Infinite Frustration or whatever the hell it’s being called now) already does in real life.
