Welcome to IWETHEY!

New why did you go for 7 and not 8 or RT?

New As much as CRC...
Says Fisher-Price interface for WindowsXP...

I think Windows 8 is Horseshit and it is a cartoony interface. It is an interface made for 13 year old kids. It is that same, I feel about KDE's attempt at a "Tablet" interface. It is the same , I feel about GNOME's attempt at a "Tablet" Interface. It is the same i feel about Canonical's attempt at a "Tablet" interface.

Windows 8 is late to the ball game and though they did it as well as any of the other UI designer's... it is *CRAP*.

RT IS ONLY for Surface made with ARM and has *ZERO* appeal to me since Linux works better on ARM.

I like the interface I've been able to have for the last 16+ years with Linux and some of that time with Windows. If I'm going to have it, I'm going to have it the way I want it.

I will *never* have Windows 8. I've chosen to not use Gnome, KDE, Unity that have all gone insane and assume everyone wants a TABLET/Mobile interface, even on their DESKTOP or LAPTOP. And THAT... will not happen. I'd sooner go Full Screen Text mode than deal with these idiots forcing me to work a different way.

Heck, keyboard keys not working the way I've used them for 16+ years (like OSX did for me) slows me down significantly and forces me to turn automatic things into things that cause me to pause. I don't need that. I don't want that. I won't tolerate it. What makes you think I want this (made for a) 12 year old interface. Are you crazy?

New I rarely see XP "FP",Vista "Glass" or whatevritscalled in 7
Control panel, "Appearance and Personalization", Theme "Windows Classic". In XP it was still called "NT 4" or "Windows 95"; in 7 it's "Windows Classic"; can't recall if it changed before or after Vista, or if that had yet another name for it.

Same old username (as above), but now on iki.fi

(Yeah, yeah, it redirects to the same old GMail... But just in case I ever want to change.)
New Yes...
I only really like the W2K/NT4/98 Interface for Windows.

Right now, on Linux, I am using XFCE. They have stated in the mailing list, they are going to continue using GTK version 2 until version 3, works out things to make it work better.

Heck, GIMP still is using GTK v2. What makes you think GTK version 3 is going to eclipse version 2 anytime soon.

Oh, by the way... (not really for CRC) but do you know what *GTK* stands for? (Hint: http://www.gtk.org/)...

Yeah, *NOT* GNOME. Though it is managed by the GNOME Foundation.

New Not for me, why? Because I totally knew that.
Yes, actually, I did.
New I'm sure.
Of all the people I ask... and people that supposedly have "knowledge" in that arena, mistakenly cal it GNOME ToolKit... You would be one I'd expect I'd not have to correct.

Sure. GNOME might use it, but it is NOT that. It surprises most people I correct. They then go on to say "It doesn't matter." Again, I correct them that yes it does because it harms other project that use GTK to be associated with GNOME.

I leave it at that.
