Cobind Desktop Reviewed, With Interview
An anonymous reader writes "Cobind Desktop takes a remarkable turn from other Linux distributions by being one of the first to include Mozilla Firefox 0.8 and Mozilla Thunderbird in their first release. Though Cobind Desktop only uses XFce and not the more popular KDE, its entire design is based on a clutter-free workspace. Flexbeta.net took the time to write up a review and conduct an interview with David Watson, Co-Founder and President of Cobind Desktop. He mentions how the entire design concept of Cobind Desktop is based on a book called the Paradox of Choice, by Barry Schwartz, who is a professor at Swarthmore. David Watson believes that this concept can be applied to software design, and produce more usable products as a result." (We mentioned Schwartz's book earlier today.)

How is this interesting?
It's interesting much in the way a ball or block is interesting to a 8 month old baby. They don't really understand it, but they play with it anyway.
For user simplicity, all search engines should now become Google.
(Except in Soviet Russia, Google becomes all search engines.
Oh dear.)
Who is this guy and why does he capitalize these words? Can I become President and Founder, too, just because I know how to recompile linux kernel and install KDE on top of it?
We ain't got no features.

Tell ya what man. Why don't you do a console log in, then type "XFree86". Biiiingo :)
Liberty.
...you have one more choice: a distro with less choices.
And you wonder why sticking with XP for now seems like a sensible solution?
Information: "I want to be anthropomorphized"
Don't you mean kluttered?
I am pleased to announce the release of Womble Linux 0.001a.
At the moment its still just Mandrake with a few extra unstable packages, but it will be revolutionary: just you wait and see. Oh yes.
