Linux Takes on the Windows Look: "Snazzy desktops are everywhere at this week's LinuxWorld. But as developers strive for a user-friendly interface, many roll out products that bear a striking resemblance to Microsoft software." [Wired News] This is strange. Microsoft copies the Mac look, and Linux copies the Windows look. This procedure seems to repeat ad infinitum. Apparently Mac OS X will be copied in Windows 2006 (Longhorn?), and probably Linux will copy that too. What about usability? Or some originality, please!
