The Rise of Contextual User Interfaces - ReadWriteWeb

Interesting thoughts on moving away from the traditional Microsoft inspired standard user interface into more context-appropriate navigation in the style of Apple's products. Not sure if it's a good idea to reinvent the wheel every time you create an application, and there's something to be said for standardization with the issues of accessability, but it's also nice to be able to use apps without a manual. It's a tricky and expensive business to do that right though.
