Genau, hier noch einmal die markantesten Stellen - Microsoft ist da eigentlich ziemlich eindeutig:
Zitat:
(...) mistakes are: (...) giving warnings for minor issues or presenting routine questions as warnings. Doing so makes programs appear prone to hazard, and detracts from truly significant issues.
(...)
In some programs, nearly every question is presented as a warning. Overwarning makes using a program feel like a hazardous activity, and it detracts from truly significant issues.
(...)
Routine confirmations and questions shouldn't have warning icons.
(...)
For question dialogs, use warning icons only for questions with significant consequences.
(...)
Don't use the question mark icon to ask questions. Again, use the question mark icon only for Help entry points. There is no need to ask questions using the question mark icon anyway it's sufficient to present a main instruction as a question.
Don't routinely replace question mark icons with warning icons. Replace a question mark icon with a warning icon only if the question has significant consequences. Otherwise, use no icon.
