[ Posted by Dan on July 30, 2002 | 0 Comments ]
Slashdot | GUIs for Everyone is a thread based on an article titled "
generating the next-generation gui." Both the thread and article are worth a read...
We have "open source" development on Operating Systems in the attempt to utilize the minds of many super intelligent folks to develop the next-gen OS. The end-result is available for free (or close to it) and it takes advantage of the culimination of many great ideas into effect. While it's a little messy to install, it's faster and more robust than Windows and it's getting better every day. As a result, it has the opportunity to challenge the Windows Monopoly.
Unfortunately, something important is missing.
Comment posting has been turned off because I don't have enough time and will to deal with the constant comment spamming. I'm very sorry and will fix this sometime soon (soon = before 2004 ends).
