Abstract

Microsoft has presented the newest net browsing interface , Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) in 2007. The purpose of this study was to compare the design of icons and functions between IE 7.0 and IE 6.0 for the effect of operating performance. Thus, we designed two experiments and a program which was constructed in Builder C++ 6.0. Participants were given missions, and then we recorded the mission completed time as operating performance. The results showed that the difference of icon design and functions between IE 7.0 and IE 6.0 do affect the operating performance.
