I wanted to point out something here that I find interesting.
It seems to me that I keep hearing people say things along the lines of
"Make it seem like Win<whatever>". Is it me or is this a
counterproductive attitude? Why are we making ourselves sound like we
are attempting to aspire to something that the majority of us feels is
inferior?
I understand the argument: Most folks are familiar with the win GUI.
Here's my point though - if we talk about how linux would "make them
feel like they're working in Win9x" I think we'll never accomplish the
idea of changing the mentality in general.
(BTW - My apologies Lawrence. My intention is not to pick on you.
Rather, you gave me the opportunity to illustrate my point quite well.)
