There is nothing more lame than a Linux system trying to act as if it was another
system. If somebody wants System X he should use System X, not a something entirely
different that just attempts to look like it. You are not fooling anybody by pasing a
windowsy interface on an Unix-like OS.

My position nowadays when somebody asks me for help setting some OS installed for a
general task is that Linux and BSD is the only thing I support, and if they want to
use Windows because it is so easy, they can  set it up themselves since it is such an
user friendly operating system.

It is not that I am a Windows hater. I just value my time :-)
