It was inevitable, that some open-source people would eventually try to create an open-source "Microsoft Bob(tm)" I suppose instead of an annoying little cat on the screen, there will be that little fuzzball from userfriendly.org. And you-know-who will be unhappy unless "Debian Bob(tm)" also has a gnu as an on screen character... Note that I'm not making fun of their hard work, as some users really do need a MS Bob(tm) work-alike. An open-source workalike of MS Bob(tm) may even be a realistically useful first milestone for a new user gui, seriously!
