I thought you guys might want to check out: http://www.rasterman.com/
It's Rasterman's of Enlightenment fame homepage. Warning, it's a bandwidth hogger but very pretty.
A bandwidth hogger? I'd say. The opening page is over three quarters of a megabyte! It is a stunning site though. Perhaps I should nick his technology and update our corporate Intranet site with it? That'd make people look at the "created with Linux" label a bit differently.
View it in Netscape first, then _try_ to view it in M$ IE (if you have access to that browser).
The tables have been turned =)
Ok, but if you want to convince MS users that Linux has enough eye candy for them, don't you think Rasterman should make his site more accessible? I have IE/Win95 at work, and Netscape/Linux at home. However, if I didn't have Linux, I'd be out of luck, and I'd still be using Win95 at home due to ignorance and silly "can only be viewed with XYZ browser" tags.
It uses Netscape layers. These are obsolete (never anything else in most people's opinions). It might keep the IE crowd out, but it's not big and it's not clever! (Well, actually, it's immensely clever. The bloke is one of the stars of the open source movement. If I had a tenth of his talent I'd consider myself a genius!)
Talent and no brains, apparently. I don't know why this pissed me off, but it did. Linux advocacy gone astray. Sorry, but this is not the way to win the war, or even the battle.
