Même Microsoft fête la journée mondiale de l’utilisabilité!
Le 8 Novembre 2007 dans la région de Seattle, Microsoft organise une conférence portant sur l’expérience usager pour souligner la journée mondiale de l’utilisabilité.
Il semblerait qu’il soit possible d’assister en ligne gratuitement via webcast
