GNOME2: And I thought M$ was the only people ripping off Apple

I would love to see the open-source community kick the shit out of both Apple and M$ by comeing up with a new aproach to working with a computer. A more "human" Human interface. This is what having an open software community should be about, not emulating other OS's functionality, creating your own NEW ways.

But what you are complaining about is "looks" not OS functionality. In my opinion (and many would disagree) that UNIX/Linux has always kicked the shit out of both as far as OS level things. I know that "looks" matter to some people but it is something that I could give two shits less about. What I care about is if my OS can get the job done, and do it without raping me blind.
As far as GUIs go, I am just as comfortable with WindowMaker (something that looks absolutely nothing like Windows or MacOS), or Enlightenment, or ... Those GUIs are there. Gnome and KDE have been popular probably because they *do* look like something else and there is a familiarity for people who have used the others. I see nothing wrong with that. You certainly have the choice of switching to a different GUI in UNIX/Linux, unlike other OSs.

But you see open source just clones stuff. You know that, I know that. Hell even Steve Ballmer knows that:

That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. Ballmer has his facts reversed.

Why would he? OS X combines uniquely both "looks" as well as OS functionality and there is no question about that.

hmm let's reword it a bit:
