Without intending a flamewar (after all, we have to move forward, wherever that means), the linked article[1] is not interesting or unique in its blatant criticism of the Windows 8 interface, but it is interesting that the author sees the Windows 8 interface as a chance for Linux to get the upper hand on the desktop: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2386343,00.asp?obref=obinsite Is he right and we're moving badly in the wrong direction (as in, an interface with a more traditional GUI feel would be a big winner?) or is competing with a similar look-and-feel as the default while providing lots of traditional-feeling alternatives a winning attitude? I haven't found any debate written anywhere public about a deliberate decision to try to "out-Windows8 Windows8" as far as interface is concerned, but it seems this is what Gnome 3 is aimed at. Now that F15 has had a few weeks of heavy use, and people have either adapted to the new interface or adopted a permanently frustrated attitude toward it, I'm curious the general feeling. (Sorry, my English is giving out -- I think this last sentence may be weird.) -Iwao -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
