  4. Re:Longhorn more like Copland. on Windows Longhorn Beta Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Well, frankly. Give a linux with 2.4 and another with 2.6 to an average Joe user. I'm not sure he will see something different. For example, my mother didn't see any difference between Gnome 2.6 and 2.10. She also cannot see any difference between Gnome with the default Gtk theme and the same gnome with clearlooks, altought I was explaining what a theme is !!! But, on the other hand, the day I set an aqua-like theme over gnome, my father said : "Oh no, you have re-installed a new system !"
