Flame war or no flame war. I think Linus is right. Not because he is 
Linus but because he has pointed out correctly that GNOME sucks at 
functionality. What makes the M$ UI so easy to use is that there are a 
zillion ways to arrive at the the same result. *Here* the path taken 
from the starting point to the ending point matters a lot. For example, 
I find it very difficult to select files in GNOME's file dialog box 
simply because I have to search for the file and click it.

Where as in KDE or M$ Windoze, you can simply click any file and then 
press the first letter of your file and the box simply scrolls until 
you find your file... Its a zillion times faster.
