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."

    Think looking at a monitor with the faint reflection of light hitting rippling water... ahh, soothing!

    I suppose everyone's different and more options (probably) can't hurt, but that sounds more like gouge my eyes out annoying rather than "soothing".
