2324.0. "productivity/efficiency studies" by BREAKR::HA () Wed Feb 21 1990 12:32

    Has anyone seen any studies/papers done on the productivity
    increase from using windows?  I am also interested in any
    studies done to show the decrease in errors in data entry
    and/or the decrease in the amount of time it takes someone
    to recognize important data by utilizing color displays -
    e.g. in an accounting application, making all negative numbers
    show up in red.  I would like to get a copy of any papers
    anyone might have on the subject.  The reason is that I'm
    doing a 'Tapestry' seminar on Windows and Worksystems and
    I'd like to arm myself with as much information on the
    benefits of using windows as possible.

Funny you should ask this, just today I've been looking in this conference
for just such a document and I'm SURE I've seen details of one posted here.

Has anyone any inputs on this?
