The Linux desktop keeps improving, but there's a new group working on the Linux desktop that is probably heading in for trouble.

It's one thing to copy the essential functionality of Windows, afterall, Windows did the same to Macintosh; it is another to copy Windows pixel for pixel [via Slashdot]. 4:38:54 PM    comment []
