Talk Abstract: 

An exploration in designing for cross-platform and cloud experiences. The axis of user experience has shifted away from the desktop toward services delivered through multiple platforms of widely differing form factors and the cloud. What does this mean for what users expect from their devices? What does effective design, across platforms and the cloud, look like?

This talk is not about detailed device usability, but about what makes a usable service. It also addresses what users increasingly care about the most,and what this means for Operating Systems.
