He's a Mac, He's a PC, But We're Linux!

The winner has now been announced."

    Haven't the originals and the parodies gotten old yet? And more importantly, why aren't Linux enthusiasts doing something truly new and original that highlights the strong points of Linux and OSS? Ubuntu and the other desktop distros have done a great job these last few years, but I think the Linux community still on a whole still lacks some creativity, originality, and artistic talent that would really help desktop Linux.

    Yeah, just like workspaces, man, totally rip off of Mac OS X's Spaces feature...

    Err, what? That was insightful?

    The Unix world has had this feature since at least the mid-90s, maybe earlier.
