> Indeed there *is* nothing controversial about the article. I only hope that companies continue to let TWs work alongside with UI designers instead of letting UI designers do it on their own.

Agreed. We're working toward that relationship now where I work.

> Some companies would like to see a UI and a TW as one person instead of two! (personal opinion) There is sometimes no space for 2 people on board ...!

This makes perfect sense. And, with Whitbey, it can easily happen! I
honestly think those who are in denial need to wake up... I've been
saying for years that the nature of our jobs is heading toward a huge
change. Well, we're pretty much there, and it's looking pretty cool
from where I sit! :-)

> Still it was interesting to read how some view the TW and Longhorn connection.

It always is. Longhorn is MS's first real stab at really making a
unified effort toward user advocacy... in OS design, application
development, and in IDE/developer support. Good times, good times!
