[QB]No shading, no stackin layers, no multiple Desktops.  I realy wonder how I ever thought that Windows is a serious OS.

 
Well, it sure looks like I have multiple desktops, transparency, shadows outlining my Windows, etc in Windows XP. I also notice that the icons in my taskbar aren't all boxed up with a square outline. The only time you will ever see an ugly boxed outline around an icon or a window bar in XP is if you hover over it with your mouse(and it will unbox if the pointer leaves the icon/window bar space) or if you have the window selected. Also, I don't have a big, ugly, clunky looking clock in my taskbar(I can't stand the way icons and the clock looks in the Linux Window Managers).


I don't think my Windows VS looks like fisher price either(it looks more like Chrome ;P). BTW, you can make Windows look however you want(nobody says you have to use Windows Explorer either..you have options like LiteStep available too). Personally, I think Linux Window managers look terrible and I think the usability of the Linux Window managers is terrible compared to Windows too. Stuff that is easily done in Windows is usually a chore in Linux. It is no wonder that Lycoris and Lindows tries to imitate the feel and ease of Windows. From what I hear(I don't know if it is true though cause I've never used Redhat 8) Redhat is becoming more and more like Windows too.

Linux emulates and imitates, it doesn't innovate.

Looks pretty slick, ehhh? Also notice that I have different transparency levels for each Window(one is more transparent than the other and one of them is solid).

also. I love Mac OS X too, but I wish I could use the platinum interface with it. Aqua is nice, but sometimes I feel like staring at nice, neutral grays.

With a program called Duality you can change the look and feel of OSX.

Go to www.resexcellence.com for all of your OSX Themes and Modifications. The customizability is endless.

Theres one thing I can say about OSX. I really like the way it looks, I like it's interface, etc. I just don't like the machines that I have to run it on and I don't like it's lack of mainstream games.

(edit)Back on topic...Linux looks and feels generic and shitty. =0P
