This really is not true, and not the optimal course for Free Software. The GNOME project is specifically avoiding imitation, emulation or cloning of the Windows user interface *where it matters*, because it does not encourage innovation, and users react negatively to an interfaces that looks like what they're familiar with, but does not *work* like what they're familiar with. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2006: Dunedin, New Zealand http://linux.conf.au/ "Slashdot seems to run a lot of obituaries.
