Doesn't matter - the article isn't being conspicuously advertised, so few people, if any, are going to see it. Funny, Berst's column is usually advertised fairly well - just not this time.
Even if Berst sucks, still, I appreciate the mere mention of Linux in mainstream press - but only if its in a place people will see it!
I don't imagine there are that many ZDNET readers who click on "AnchorDesk"...
*Yawn* - yet more NT-Microsoft-invented-the-GUI-Linux-is-all-command -line-tripe.
Uhm...there's a few software packages for NT, and some Graphical Interfaces to services under NT that are neat - but that's all they are - They'll all become available under Linux as we grow, otherwise, nothing very fancy about 'em.
Nice attempt at flamebait - but here's where you blew it: MOST flamebait will contain factual remarks - designed to infuriate its victims into terse, ill-written replies. There's still a lot of things Linux is lacking in - and I wish I were a coder so I could help fill in the void - I can't.
There's *nothing* factual about your remarks, insofar as your attempt to present NT as something more advanced than Linux. It isn't - never has been, and never likely will be. Most or all of what you described above IS available in Linux.

I think we're sunk - once the media finds out just how laughable this clunker is compared to KDE, you can kiss all the great coverage good bye.
This thing is NOT READY for public consumption under any circumstances!!!
GMC is a really BAD joke - and I mean that seriously. A decent file manager is the core of any good GUI - GMC SUCKS.
I can't believe that the Gnome Zealots unleashed this clunker to the press. Its terrible. Someday - maybe. But now?
And in all seriousness - E as a WM???? PUHLEEESE!
WE'RE SUNK.
For crying out loud lets end this myth that KDE is a memory hog.

Learn how to read the damn thing.
Compared to KDE 1.0, KDE 1.1 is miserly!
Ya learn something (???) new everyday.

Only wanted to know since I replied to one of his flam- I mean, comments.
