I hope both keep striving!:) I find the 'competition' (if I'm allowed to call it so), very healthy. Plus, it's a matter of choice. If one of them 'dies', other project will rise and try to compete with the 'winning' one.
One desktop to rule them all...;)

Well, try to exchange your OSs' hardware with one another, and you'll be amazed at how linux is suddenly faster, and windows slower.
Sometimes, I just can't understand some people's logic./p
Err... No changes have been made, yet. And that "under the hood" thing isn't accurate.
As a webdeveloper, I can surely say that IE (not even the latest, which isn't very recent), isn't fully CSS1 compliant, which means that a well formed CSS might break in explorer.
Nevertheless, I RTFA, and I'm glad they seem to be taking care of that, though no guarantees are given... Browsing with Epiphany, I couldn't care less with IE, but it's a discriminatory act to leave other people out of the act.
Now, you go to school, and learn a bit more instead of trying to act smart.
Finally, Slashdot!
This will mean faster browsing for all of us, and much less bandwith costs to Slashdot.:) Webstandarts are here to rule, I hope.
I just wonder... how compatible will this be with IE?
Well... as a webdeveloper/designer I must say that testing your webapplications/sites with FireBird has got nothing to do with standarts. The (X)HTML// XML/XSLT / CSS code can look clean and validate, and still look a mess when rendered. On the other hand, I must say FireBird is usually more logic when rendering the code. But the parent is right on half of it... don't code for a browser or another. Simply code along with the standarts... if it doesn't work on your favourite browser, I'd say it's time to send a bug report to it's engineers. (For those that design professionaly, customers usually understand the "standarts" point of view and actually like the idea after it's been carefully explained -- Every manager likes to proud himself of having the latest in technology;)

Will people be using C#-gtk/qt/insert-your-favourite-toolkit-here in the future?
