Why? I don't want a Windows UI on my UNIX machine. If I did ... I'd be running Windows on the machine. Why must people become so emotionally attached to an operating system?

Anyone who thinks that a single OS will do it all, or that a single OS is superior to all others, is dreaming. > If you want the GUI available and gorgeous to a > hundred users then you need 100 screens, right? And a hundred machines behind them, because all that graphic content requires processing power. > It's a bit like Windows Terminal Server ... That's a scary thought.
