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!"
The entire nonexistent 'war' is just made up by some trolling losers who have nothing better to do!
When one of the desktops come with good news, the trolls get all upset about it and spread FUD.
Well, let's face the reality: the war does not exist!
Sorry, but that's the way it is, so live with it, 'cause trolling is completely useless.
Nobody will listen to you, no matter how hard to try.
On one hand, I can see that. But remember the beef that most Slashdotters have with Microsoft: lack of choice = beginnings of monopoly = hell on earth.
I say let each develop and make the best that they can. Fair competition is a good and stimulating environment.
... progressing like this. This just goes to show what can be done. Excellent job, men and women! Keep up the great work over at the GNOME project! My humble thanks.
That's why its a PLATFORM BETA. It's not a release beta, it's a PLATFORM BETA. This means that they are working on the PLATFORM. Then they will be working on the applications. Joe Sixpack is NOT MEANT for this release. Period. When they have a DESKTOP release, and after distributions package it, then it will be ready for Joe Desktop. Don't complain simply because you don't understand the process. The process is the same for Windows, it's just that with Linux, anyone can view the progress.
