http://www.macosdaily.com/thought/cmoore_040_20000616.shtml 'The Eazel development group is working with a group of open source software developers at the GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) project, which, led by Mexican developer Miguel de Icaza, was created to build a complete desktop environment for Linux. Eazel claims that this development, when combined with the well known strengths of both the Linux operating system and the Open Source software development model, will "revolutionize desktop computing." ' (...) 'Which begs the question of whether Eazel will have a more legitimate claim to the Macintosh tradition then will the Macintosh itself under OS X. Will Eazel be the legitimate heir to the "computer for the rest of us" vision?' (...) ''m not saying that OS X and won't be cool, or that it isn't a quantum leap forward from the old Mac OS -- under the hood. However, if Eazel can deliver on their promise to make their GUI easier to use then either Windows or the Mac, then I suspect they will be poised to give OS X a run for its money. And if the original Mac philosophy shines through in Eazel more clearly than it does in OS X, there may be reason for Mac-heads to reconsider their loyalties. After all, it is the Mac vision and user-experience, not necessarily Apple Corporation, that we find attractive, isn't it?' -- ---> jabtronic / http://commie.oy.com "We Make Listening Complicated!"
