They all (Linux too) seem to be heading for being some sort of iPad clone. Being all the more inappropriate for trying to use a touch-screen type of interface, when you don't have a touch-screen. They're also being painful as far as multi-tasking is concerned. Wacking great big oversized GUIs for things, so you can't use two or three applications side by side. You have to window shuffle. Starting things from the icons on the desktop background, so you have to get your windows out of the way to get to the icons. Having to search for your program, because there isn't a structured menu (either one that's categorised, or one that doesn't keep re-arranging the order that things and jumbled together). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
