Advancing the Vision of Software for the Dynamic Business: Mike Ehrenberg, Distinguished Engineer for Microsoft Dynamics, provides thoughtful commentary in a new blog post on "some of the exciting work we'll be doing as we move the vision of software for the dynamic business forward." Here's what he says about user interface:  "Microsoft is doing exciting work in every area of natural user interface... We are centered on making people more productive. The Dynamics RoleTailored experience is a major step in this direction - bringing users an experience centered on their roles and responsibilities, prioritizing their tasks, and informing them with business intelligence to make smarter decisions. Looking forward, our RoleTailored experience will get stronger, and in the future, three (of course) areas where we'll push further are:

• Context Aware UX - having the system tailor the user's experience based on their role is one aspect of context awareness.
• Task Specific UX - we have shown prototypes of powerful user experiences, enabled by great data visualization, targeted to a single task - for example, the touch screen warehouse experience.
• UX for a new generation - pervasive search, connections to social networking, blending of work life and personal life, and many others will shape how Dynamics will transform business application user experience for a new generation.
