| Jul 5, 2013 at 22:31 | comment | added | New Alexandria | @Brian browsers actually do open to a workflow CTA ('splash screen). Chrome has an example, where logged-in users are shown their most common visited pages or chrome app tab. FF and Safari have similar behavior; but all embed this behavior in a browser tab, which is more appropriate metaphor given common browser conventions. Try to cite an example for a non-browser; Adobe suite, Alias, and others all open to CTA splashes. | |

| Jul 4, 2013 at 3:29 | comment | added | Daniel G. Wilson | @JackM - I agree completely; I've actually had an experience where a splash screen stopped showing and an important add on for the program was at the same time not being loaded. For me at least, unexplained changes in program behavior end up being issues or errors. | |
| Jul 4, 2013 at 2:40 | comment | added | Jack M | If a program stopped displaying a splash screen after an arbitrary number of times like 25, I might think there was something wrong with it and get worried. | |
