Hmmm, I can't seem to get to the picture you linked to. Can't resolve the server name you used. Is there a typo?

Are you talking about XMMS?
Master of Reality:
No he isnt... it was posted here a while ago. There is a new music player that wanted to look like itunes and be for linux. Well, the people making it were threatened by apples lawyers and are redoing it.

I dunno, maybe it's so people will be attracted to the similarities between Linux desktops and other more popular OS's, but just because it's a better OS, dosn't justify ripping off someone elses look and feel.

I don't know how long Apple has had that but what is refered to as the "panel" in Gnome has been there from the beginning of Gnome. It doesn't look any different now than it did any other time. I certainly don't believe anyone put it there in the hopes of attracting Mac people. If anything it would have been there to attract Windows people since they do have 97% of the desktop market. But I tend to believe it wasn't put there to "attract" anyone. It was put there because it's functional.
And by the way, Gnome is not a "Linux" desktop. It is a desktop system that runs on many OSs, including Darwin, Solaris, etc.

Also, you keep forgetting that copying Apple's interface and using extremely competitive pricing is what made Microsoft such a huge successful company. Maybe Linux will do this and dethrone both Windows and Mac. It is doubtful, though, as long as Xfree86 stays as slow as it is and GNOME and KDE stay incomplete and unpolished. And the only "desktop" distro's of Linux (lindows, xandros) are practically closed source.
