Ack, that'd be a bad bad bad thing. Then who's to say what's the default? Not to mention the fact that it'd be a big ol mess to figure out.

There shall be only 1 window manager (ours) and you shall use it. There shall be only 1 operating system (ours) and you shall use it. Walk into a school, do you see Linux servers running? For the most part no (though there ARE a few exceptions). Children are taught at an early age to use Micro$oft apps. Look at the application database being built for Micro$oft apps, vs Linux apps. Look at the fact that MOST drivers are built for Micro$oft OS'es first, Linux (if we're lucky) second. Just my thoughts, as usual.
