what was most striking for me is that it uses terms like "my computer", "my documents " etc. although I am not at all interested in following what windows does, it will be good for those who are going to have their first taist of gnu/linux. once they become familiar with the gnu concepts and how the OS works, we can then take these users to a more user friendly desktop with more friendly icon names instead of "my computer " etc. that as a great report rony. as anurag rightly pointed out. this should go on some blog at least. even I expect to grab one cd from you. regards.
