The Notable Improvements of GNOME 2.22

Michael Larabel writes "Phoronix has up a list compiling eight of the most interesting improvements on track for GNOME 2.22. These improvements include the Epiphany browser switching to the WebKit back-end, transition effects inside the Evince document viewer, a new GNOME application for taking photos and recording videos from web cameras followed by applying special effects, a mouse tweaking module for improved accessibility, and a new GNOME VNC client. On the multimedia end, GNOME 2.22 has a few new features appended to the Totem movie player and the Rhythmbox player. Totem can now search and play YouTube videos and connect to a MythTV server and watch past recordings or view live TV. Rhythmbox now can utilize FM radio tuners, integration with new lyric sites, improved Podcast feed support, and even has support for communicating with newer Sony PSPs. There will also be a standalone Flash player and flash previewing support from the file browser in this release."

Re:am I missing something here?

what's wrong with the gnome developers??? do we need more eye candy and bloat to make gnome even suckier? instead of all that crap ... why don't you make a lighter, faster gnome. and i would just LOVE it if evolution (ok ... i know this is not gnome ... but it IS the "official" gnome email) would work right.
focus on the real issues ... not the eye candy. if i wanted a bloated sack, i'd re-install windows.

Sounds great! But does it run on Linux?

Or Windows, like KDE tries to for some reason...
