Wrong. The most of people ussing computers aren't programmers, and they
can't understend what is in kernel, what is IPC so on. They aren't
interested if their desktop must be rebooted from 2 on 2 days or should run
1 year without reboot ( in fact this is important for a server but who
cares about for a desktop ? ).
They look at pictures, they look at "nice features" as a 3d screensaver or
to posibility to add a trail to the mouse. They are very impressed if when
text editor start, arise a "small stuppid man" who tell him a lot of
unusable things, or ...........
And usualy those people are who decide what systems they will have in the
company. And think about: what they choice ??????????????
So my opinion is: Decoration must be part from a desktop OS becouse in
other side "the other OS that needs dicky features" will eliminate the good
OSs. And we will be forced to use those to , and only those !!!
