 Sun has released screenshots of its upcoming Mad Hatter Linux desktop. Mad Hatter includes GNOME, StarOffice, Evolution, and Mozilla. Sun has made minor modifications to Gnome to make it more familiar to Windows users. Sun's Mad Hatter, along with SuSE's new push on the desktop, could make Linux on the corporate desktop and laptop a bigger reality."

I was kinda unimpressed myself

I thought there would be major changes like what happenned when Blue curve came about.

but it's just Gnome, plain old Gnome

BTW is it pronounced (jee)(nome) or just (nome)  :confused:

Why not gah-nome?

Personally, I always think the G is silent.

This, you say to a guy who still wonders what and if there is, a correct pronunciation for Linux.

What needs to be done is someone needs to create an all new desktop environment from the ground up, fixing all the issues we have with the current ones.

Open Darwin (http://www.gnu-darwin.org/) with KDE running an apple like theme and pretending it's OSX  :D

lol

you can get pretty close. I saw a nice Dock app for KDE that replaces the taskbar, and there's some pretty good themes

but, unfortunately you have to deal with X11 which is greatly inferior to Quartz
