I disagree here. Why is everybody so found on making Linux look like Windows ? Linux is linux, it is great, and works its way. Why everybody thinks that what Winblow$ does is sliced bread wrt user interfaces/interaction ? That is the never ending problem. You can make linux _look_ like windows, but never _behave_ like windows (unless you fill it up with bugs ;). The user comparing it will always say 'mmm, almost, but not the same, this is a windows-wannabe'. BTW, if this ever comes to mdk, plz think that a network neighborhood is not a 'windows' nbh, you can also see nfs shares... Learn from osx, the network browse window shows AppleTalk zones and SMB zones, you do not distinguish them. -- J.A.
