well, i looked at it. no need to compile even, it's distributed as
a binary.
that's pretty scary, man. it really *does* look like XP. it's
positively pathological. it's too bad it's very much in beta
and stuff doesn't work yet. i might play with it a bit, but it
doesn't seem to be usable out of the box (that might just be
configuration though, i was just looking, not seriously trying
to get it to work).
i think it's too much like windows though. it's so like windows,
i might forget i'm in linux. and there are linuxisms that i
need that the current interface doesn't seem to provide (like i
didn't see virtual desktops, although it might be there, i just
didn't look very much, i got too scared because it was too much
like windows).
thanks for the link. when that gets to 1.0, that's sure going
to cause a lot of debate on whether it's a good thing to look
and act so much like windows :).
