Must we always draw comparisons with XP? True XP is the most commonly used desktop OS, but then someone who has not used XP at all (or atleast for quite some time) might think otherwise. I for myself find the absence of virtual desktops in XP very irritating!
Umm....I dont use XP. I use Linux 24x7. It is only at the college that I am *forced* into using XP. But as I said, its very simple to use - even for first timers. And the comparisons are drawn only so that we may be reminded once in a while that imitating something thats good isnt all that bad. Besides, didn't M$ imitate the Mac UI in the first place? :P
And I find the absence of a full blown CLI in XP crippling :(
Yeah this is true. While using FC2, I could not find an easy way to edit the file-type and application associations. But the right-clicking functionality is now present in GNOME 2.14.
I use FC5. Dunno what version of GNOME it uses but I certainly couldn't find it in the right click menu or any of the preferences. I was told ( on IRC ) that I'll have to edit some files in my home directory to make that association. Sucks!
