XPde Makes X11 Resemble Windows

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nice-for-the-beginners dept.

Gentu writes "Here is another way of penetrating the Windows market, which might even prove more successful than the current efforts: XPde is a desktop environment that mimics the Windows 2000 look and feel and behavior. Currently on version 0.3, the team has re-created a number of applications from its Windows equivalents, including Explorer." T. cuts in: It looks like they've made a lot of progress since this project was last mentioned.

    Mac OS X GUI or even the Mac OS 7/8/9 GUI would be better to emulate. But then again, if you wanted a great Unix machine, you wouldn't run a Unix-like OS like Linux and get the real thing with Mac OS X.


    In case you didn't know and it shouldn't be news to anyone, the Windows GUI sucks.
