Thank you for the link. I've just passed it on to Jerry Pournelle, as I think he (and maybe his readers) will find it interesting. I think what we have in the Gnome Shell is what happens when the devs on a big project find themselves controlled by people who believe that if it's new it must be better. This, naturally, isn't always true any more than the opposite attitude of if it's new it must be bad. Of course, with Linux, those of us who don't like the direction Gnome is going in are able to move to a different DE; in Windows, you won't have that choice, so we may find ourselves becoming more mainstream if Microsoft doesn't correct its current cranio-rectal insertion. -- 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
