Actually, Microsoft and a few others have invested millions of dollars to investigate what GUI is the most effective one. Intuitive, usefullness etc. So no matter WHAT your opinion is on the Microsoft software and ethics, they DO make sure they have SOMETHING on their feet when they start writing their thing...
I have no problem with MicroSoft, which is why I concider the crusade to take away their market share with a similarly looking GUI a totally lost one. On the statistics of MicroSoft, it's like any other statistics ... they can be made to tell you whatever you want. Customers don't know anything but Microsoft Windows, asking a non intelligent user about what he wants, when all he knows is Windows isn't merely futile, it's idiotic, as it'll only give one result.
Vista may be bloated. Vista may be unstable, Vista may be the worst piece of crap ever to come out or Redmount.. But as we allready know.. People WILL buy it! Exactly.
Because if they DONT, they will look oldfashioned, out of date and lost.. Right on track.
Windows GUI, KDE, OSX, Gnome and a few others all are the same layout. Partially because its what we are used to via windows, and partially due to the fact its easier to handle.
No, Windows GUI and KDE are quite alike. Gnome isn't, and OSX most certainly is not.
Me personally dont care too much for eyecandy. Its a waste of resources in my mind. Waste?
The only reason you feel this way, is because Microsoft has the money to buy better artists to make Windows look better, and to have research in learning what will look good. Concerning resources, this Linux system I'm running is using 1.5 Gb of memory. Lot of it's resources are wasted on startup procedures, library structures ... stuff that can be improved to use less resources and give faster results.
Why need a $500 card to get transparent windows that fade in or out, if i can do the same job (show the data) with a card for $50?? Why? This $500 card is going to cost $50 in 6 months.
Its a utter waste of money. People are throwing away money left and right, to get new processor, new monitor and new stereo equipment (including myself). They're gonna be buying HD-DVD on their computers soon.
Sounds to me like they're all spending their money on buying stuff that look good, sound great. Stuff that's new, fashionable.
I rather use a 3 GHz box running TVM on a Matrox G400 and get the job done fast, than sit and look at the shiny icons on a DualCore with latest ATI megacard running some flashy transparent thingy that does the job twice as flashy, but half as fast...
Wrong concept, wrong ideology ... the "speed" of modern 3D cards, exceed that of the older cards. Thus, graphics capable of utilizing this new technology directly, will also work faster ... not slower.
The computer isnt made to display shiny windows and buttons. Its a tool to compute stuff! Use it as such! The computer got advanced, because people decided to buy them, and as they bought them, it could be capitalized on. And capitalizing on this idea, made it possible to create them cheaper, and cheaper production, gave birth to greater computers. Thus today, I'm running a computer that is capable of greater complexity than IBM mainframes were a decade ago.
However ... this doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. Improvement is the sole concept that has made all this possible, and throwing that away ... doesn't sound like a great idea to me.
