GNOME 3.0 Delayed Until March 2011

Posted by timothy on from the so-little-time-until-2012 dept.

Julie188 writes "GNOME 3.0 was scheduled to be released in September but during the developers conference, GUADEC 2010 in Den Haag, the organization had to face facts: the much ballyhooed GNOME Shell really wasn't ready. The Shell is supposed to bring 'a whole new user experience to the desktop.' So now, in September, what users will see is GNOME 2.32, distributed as a new stable release. Next target date for 3.0: March 2011."

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    Yes, that LOOKS like OSX, but the look wasn't what I was talking about. It's things like half functional multi tasking (only one menu bar at a time), no right clicking etc. that I'm talking about. OSX certainly has some points where it is better, but there are a lot of other areas where they have just tried too hard to be different and completely ruined it. I'm sure I would have no trouble using your desktop as is, while I absolutely hate doing the simplest task on OSX.
