I use KDE and, of course, Konqueror to browse my filesystem. But I find some tasks easier to do by command line. But I am not trying to say that command line is better; I'm saying that the browser metaphor has its limitations, just as the spatial metaphor of Nautilus.
If and when a file manager with a better metaphor appears, will it integrate easily with our GNOME or KDE desktop? Or the desktop will be so tied to Konqueror or Nautilus like Windows is to the Explorer?
Well, I thought the article was spreading nothing but a rumor about the specs for Longhorn, and insulting the intelligence of the reader. I would understand if the source was a linux freak, but I don't think "a source close to Microsoft" would say something that seems such an exaggeration.
