Re: [PLUG] If the linux people despise windows...How come...


The father of the OS GUI is the Mac.
When Win 3.1 came out my programming teacher in college referred to it as "IBM.....I'm Becoming Mac"
HAL is an acronym for.... ;)

OK. This is not meant to be a troll for flames....but

If the Linux community despises windows that much, why does each
  newer version of linux (at least Redhat/Fedora), look more and more
  like windows?

Granted, it may run better, with less overhead and problems, but as
the saying goes, isn't imitation the greatest form of flattery?
