Aaron, back to basics: Linux is about choice ...

If I can't get how to do that myself, can't find satisfying solutions on the web, and come here to ask people for advice, than I don't expect to read morals that is not right, but advice how to do that. In your example: Wish: I want a Corvette interior and machinery with Mercedes exterior. Question: Do you know the shop that can do that? The question was not is it right that I like that combination, the question was how to do it. Who can help me to fullfill my wish? If you don't like the idea, all you can do is to tell me that you don't like combination, but not five posts in the row.

Aaron... you right.. But there're some graphycs that I like for example the menubar, icons...

Apple's ability to attract users and create usable and accessible user interfaces—something they do better than anyone else and have been doing for over two decades—is _extensive_ user testing. In fact, they were pioneers in really listening to (or, more precisely, watching) their users. They never let designers give users hints during their user testing. They watch and listen (users are instructed to verbalize their thought processes as they use the software or hardware being tested) but give no feedback. Then they use those results to improve and refine their interfaces. Apple's software is usually less feature-laden and some, especially highly technical users, tend to find it overly simplified, but one can definitely make the case that this is a better approach than Microsoft's never say no to a feature request practice.

One has the right to face whatever panorama one prefers as the work day proceeds. Just remember: appearance is a minor aspect; behavior is what it's all about!
