Debain to "Unity" (another X rewrite). and Apple - they will continue to use Japan G7 and do similar changes: all adds up to. all USA code deleted (copy lefted though) and no hardware except ones "key holders" approved. debian says X is insecure because any X app can talk to X: but their "fix" is so that only ubantu "maintainer" software can do "certain things" (likely, change IP and etc), no one else ! that's the worst kind of security and also doesn't fix anything. a few improvements yes Xorg. but what is the price and agenda ? and who in the world is funding it ? = all software that's working up in flames , by plan = every year a hardware pc/cell requires it's own hardware and breaks all software but the vendors - who happen to come out unscathed someone out there (not johannes) knows exactly what i'm talking about = only news wares out there are designed failures and obstructions they give you a few new wigets - they take away all your $$$ and human rights
