Hi. Raster, i don't think that is what he means, but to have the desktop itself to recognise WHAT you want to do and make it for you (with the current app). I think KDE works toward this direction Unfotunately, i don't think this is possible in the short term. In in close source, you said it before, they just don't care and can't think of it. In the free software way......they just take too long, imagine how long will take to just think and make a standard of "what" to do, implement it will take centuries (look hurd). But in the open source something even worse happen, all things relies in other people things that relies in other people things, they are not make togheter (except, well, kde. But even they are limitated) I'll put it this way, think in E17. E17 relies in EFL, ok, those are "ours" and that is why E17 works perfect with them. But EFL relies in LOT of other libraries that are "general" pourpuse, like libjpeg, libstdc, blah blah blah.....and this is the open source way to work, it has always been this way. In order to do what you want, all people of ALL project should work togheter to one same goal, and we all know that is not going to happen (look any distribution that works without a coorporation, they all have a same goal and they all have issue, like debian, gentoo, etc). And there is one more thing, E's topic is "as fast and eyecandy as posible", and don't think going this way that's gonna happen Don't get me wrong, please, i love your idea. I know that today's technology is capable of do that. Is software that needs to evolve. But i don't think that going to happen soon. I REALLY hope you can shout my mouth and proobe i'm wrong cheers -- Wido ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
