Linux vs. Windows and why win is winning!

[Cox, Michael]

I've seen themes that mimic WIN95 on http://kde.themes.org/

    Now to the solution, I recently went on an endevour with a programmer
friend of mine to make the KDE interface almost identical to windows, like
changing the foot print (start button like) button to say something like
"Begin" or "Linux" but neither of use are skilled enough to even break the
water on this one. What I just mentioned is a good start (ignore the pun),
but if we can make the right clicks work the same way, the buttons and
clicks and edges and screens more familiar to Windows users, we could start
the worlds largest conversion ever. That includes the Linux tool bar to
autohide and all the buttons to be smoother looking. Personnally I love
Linux but find to transition to be horridly difficult and thats why in a
couple of weeks, when I build a web server for my father it will run Windows
2000 Advanced Server, because even though I know little about it, its easy
as hell to learn. Well I am done ranting what are your thoughts.
