The big problem is that I am waiting for the day that people claim that the Gnome team are copying Apple, that would just be a shame in terms of giving credit where it is deserved. When that day arraives, we will know that stupidity will be terminal. By only seen the dates these

Only fools don't use GNU/Linux. Without thinking about freedom and similar, Ubuntu (which I use on one computer, and used to use on both) is so much better in functionality than windows. And as for MacOS, I have never ever ever worked out how to use it. You scroll one way, and it goes the

It is better that people don't use Free software at all than choosing it because it is free of cost. I chose Trisquel not because it is free. I coul have easily got a pirated Windows on my PC so easily. They are out in plenty in countries like mine. I chose it because of the philosophy. *I

If you turn a few pages of history you'll find out that their glorified MAC OS X is actually based on GNU\Linux(or Linux as they refer to). Search for Darwin and MKLinux projects. So, I'm not surprised a bit.

The best thing is that they understand that people may not accept these innovations readily no matter how good they are. So, free desktop environment makers always give users an option to kepp using the older versions while they get familiarised with the new interface. They don't just leave
