New Wow. 4 out of the 6 are very nice looking.
Those 4 look everybit as nice as KDE or GNOME does. One even surpasses them in subtle touches.

Really, truly, there is no difference in the "look" of the Linux Desktop and the OS/2 eComStation. I am thinking there is an "OMG-Lookey-What-I-Can-Do" amount of options in configs... the last time I really used OS/2 was ONLY in commandline mode for controlling a tape-robot, a couple of tape storage Cabinets, and a gaggle of Tape Drives.

I rather liked being able to just use it.

The other two that were setup in "gaudy" mode, sure we can get there in Linux. Just try "twm" on for size.
