Re:Copying Apple again?

Absolutely. As a side note, have you noticed how KDE looks exactly like Windows? And, and, a default GNOME install looks kinda like OS 9?

Have you noticed how Evolution looks exactly like Outlook?

Have you noticed XMMS? Wow, it looks a lot like Winamp.

OMG, and Nautilus looks kinda like Explorer if you watch carefully!!

And those cool RHEL admin tools?? I mean, it's the Microsoft Management Console all over again!

Although I've noticed lately that opensores is copying Apple as well. Not that that's bad, of course.

Oh, wait... I'm not supposed to say these things here. Don't want to put a dent in our vigorous and always funny Microsoft bashing while ignoring the small fact that free software can't innovate to save its life, unless it's designing exciting new ways to applying 1,234 slightly different skinz to the same tired, passe layout. No, no. We cannot have that here. Someone mod me down, quick.

Dumbass.
