I don't know why I continue to waste my time on this project. The MS Longhorn UI
is clearly a generation better than anything available on Linux. Right now Linux
is starting to get a foothold on the desktop. All of the desktop effort will be
wasted if Linux has an obviously inferior UI for several years and Linux's
desktop acceptance backslides during that period. Of course things might easily
go the other way if Linux beats or ties MS's GUI efforts.

So if my ideas are so bad, why don't you propose your own solution to the
Longhorn problem? I have no attachment to anything I've proposed, I'll work on
any solution that solves the main problem.
