We set experience goals for all of the products we ship. These goals are at the product and “experience” (i.e., a meaningful unit of experience for people, not at the feature level) levels of analysis. We think about these goals in what we call a “Confidence Model.” This is a model that evaluates the product experiences across four dimensions – Useful, Usable, Desirable, and Principled. For each experience across each dimension, we have a “confidence rating” of how close we are to meeting (or exceeding) the experience goals. The dimensions of useful, usable, and desirable are common measures of experience across industries. In addition to those standards, we also evaluate our experiences in light of the Windows Experience Principles (more on these later). This is all an evolution of our process that we described in the Windows 7 Engineering Blog." }-IE9 Blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2010/09/28/how-we-evaluate-the-experiences-we-engineer.aspx)
