Heh. If what we're talking is so rubbish then why isn't every computer running KDE? Why are so many people dependent on the XP UI? Why do people rate XP's UI better than KDE / GNOME ? And why does KDE keep adding XMMS in nonsensical places in the menus? :/ Umm...jtd, no offense but the first step to improve is to accept ones shortcomings. The Linux desktop offerings arent going to get any better if we try to mould people into doing the things our way rather we should adopt the software to do things their way and then slowly transition them :/ In the end it doesnt matter if Linux can do everything including walking your dog, if users aren't attracted and feel at home with our desktop offerings then its senseless to add features _we_ feel are useful. If you're going to shove unwanted features down a users throat then he will just format his disk and move over to something else. Give him what _he_ wants! Microsoft isn't all that evil. The Linux community can learn some things from Microsoft....well....atleast the Microsoft of the 1990s. P.S.: I read your earlier post on kids and comps. Well, catch 'em young is what even M$ is doing currently. But the vast majority need to _transition_ from the Win platform to the Linux platform! :/ -- Dinesh A.
