You can find the full announcement on Gnotices. The GNOME developers have been hard at work. Feel free to download, create/port applications, and, most of all, send in nicely detailed bug reports!"

Re:is AA a hi-pri feature in Gnome 2.0?

Er, AA works fine in Gnome right now. Why are you waiting until 2.0? Do a little research on the subject before you start asking pointless questions.

Does it still look bad?

I'd use GNOME if it didn't look so bad. It looks like rubbish, although at least it isn't as bad as Windows XP. I personally think KDE is a much better environment.

Could you please post a link where I can download a legal version of Windows XP and Office for $0? Thank you very much.

I suppose that you're pretty cool for bragging that you steal software. You're doing a good service to the IT community, which I'll assume that you feel like you have some part in, since you're floating around slashdot. And drudging up another thread about Linux vs. Windows, I suppose that's as good a way to fill your lonely Friday: fan the everpresent geek flames and revel in the fruits of your labor. I think you should post anonymously from now on.
