ROX Desktop Update

Posted by timothy on from the small-simple-swift dept.

It's still pretty light and fast, despite all the changes, and integrates well with other desktops too."

    Wouldn't it be better to settle on a single desktop instead of bringing out competing desktops every month? Thank you for your input, Mr. Gates. Does anyone else have an opinion? No? Okay, we'll go ahead with that plan then....

    One person asked if it was prototype hardware that you couldnt buy yet because it was so fast.

    Tell that person I have some waterfront real estate to sell them. Chance of a lifetime.

    Okay, i've always wondered -- what is up with so many programmers' color sensibilities? Mauve, orange, pink, magenta, and teal should not be used in large quantities. Particularly not _together_! Of course, little beats old DOS and UNIX colors. (Particularly the DOS tendency to have the F12-to-rotate-colors feature.)

    There are so many medical billing programs out there that make my eyes hurt, I don't want to think about it.

    One of the icons on the bottom of the screenshot looks supiciously like !Edit, as well...

    All they need now is a 'Filecore in use' error every now and then.
