Why we started WisdomSoft:

Making computers easy to use is one of the biggest challenges in software design. In 1984, Apple Computer introduced the Macintosh with the promise of delivering “computers for the rest of us.” Microsoft followed up several years later with its own graphical user interface (GUI), the Windows operating system.
Prior to that, users were stuck with the dreaded command line interface. The MAC and Windows interfaces were supposed to make computers easier to use. And they did, to some extent.
Yet, computers are still difficult and confusing for many. Software is far too complex! Most people who’ve tried to teach their parents how to use a computer can attest to this. Our job is to remedy that by creating software that's so easy, everyone can use it.
