Started a new thread for the user, as looks like stole another thread and changed the subject. Anyway, here is the original post and can comment on it from there if you like. Don't flame ME, I care less bout the subject, just trying to help get someone going in right direction. From: 夜神 岩男 <supergiantpotato@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Gnome 3 ~ Windows 8? Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2011 23:39:01 +0900 (07/13/2011 09:39:01 AM) 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 -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "The best town on Earth!" -- 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
