چکیده
Communication technology, such as devices using the Bluetooth technology, has developed with a tremendous speed and is bringing us to the age of ubiquitous computing. In contrast, the graphical user interface (GUI) used on standard desktop computers has not changed much in the last 15 years. An analysis of Bluetooth usage models aids the discovery of the implicit assumptions behind the Windows GUI. The implications of the implicit assumptions are elaborated on and some challenges for the Windows GUI as well as directions of possible future development are presented.
