The fact that by default it looks somewhat similar with a menu and a bar is due to the initial user feedback. It is worth digging in to the details of KDE4. I am lucky in that Aaron Seigo is a member of my local LUG, so I/we get some very interesting info, more or less for no cost (Aaron is cheap, especially if there is Kareokee nearby). > The Linux community (and I'm part of this community and not part of any > Windows community) fools itself. > I disagree. I doubt that you will find more informed people in any other community. Having to get disparate systems interacting gives you good insight into each of those systems. I prefer to use a Linux based system for nearly all of my "work" (audio is my hobby, but I include it here). Why is that? Well, it would take a few hours to go through it all, but the short answer is that for each task that I do, I make choice about which tools I use to accomplish that task. 9 times out of 10 that tool is a FLOSS tool. > To do things better than they are for Windows, will be more easy if Windows > wouldn't pseudo-ignored the way it is by us. I hear something like this in my local LUG every so often, usually from people who are new to the whole FLOSS thing. It seems to me, that it is mostly people new to the FLOSS world who spend so much time obsessing about the Windows and Mac worlds. This is not a bad thing, it is merely an interesting observation. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJLx3DwRXgH3rKGfMRAudNAKCb+dLwCHbXlRHz0xslgMVmFmB/oQCfVlNv B1/bptHsIMqwjwr5XalJ0Xo= =93VG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
