Not unless somebody works on it, but as Tor is making great progress with the platform libraries it's possible other things like Nautilus or gnome-panel could be ported across too. Would it be worth it though? While I love GNOME and use it every day, on its own I suspect it wouldn't prove that compelling to Windows users. When you join GNOME, Linux, Firefox, some office programs and a ton of other free software together (we could call it a distribution) then it becomes a lot more attractive. I think the real reason you're asking that is that existing Linux distros are too difficult to install and uninstall, which could certainly be improved (for instance by letting it install directly to an NTFS partition) but this is the wrong list to discuss such things. thanks -mike _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
