RE: [PLUG] If the linux people despise windows...How come...
|
I know my VW Passat looks like an Audi S4 (body style, 4 tires, 4 doors,
steering wheel, radio, seats, etc.) but god knows there must be a few
differences under the hood.
My point being that to some degree the GUI is going to have similar aspects
and design. You can really only develop a GUI to a certain degree without it
becoming more confusing and less intuitive. But, as some would say, the real
proof is in the pudding.

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.... ;)
