Is it Windows 7 or KDE 4? In this video, ZDNet takes to Sydney's streets to find out what people think of what they think is a Windows 7 demonstration. Some funny responses by the passers-by in this little nonsense-investigation.

I'd say that's incorrect.. The point of Project Mojave was to prove that most the people whinging about Vista wouldn't know it if it bit them in the ass. It was to prove that people are just anti-microsoft regardless.
So yes, I guess it proves people are sheep, but doesn't disprove Mojave.
My personal opinion though, ignoring ubuntu (its much harder then neccessary), I tried KDE4 on my carPC, and the settings managers provided (and applications), simply weren't up to scratch.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the idea of KDE4, I think its UI is magical. But at the end of the day, it simply needs better means of configuring the system, and linux still needs work overall.
Everything is still a bit too adhoc on linux unfortunately. More standardisation is needed (which is happening), and my personal opinion is that the GPL needs to be dumped, because its a massive licence that neither developers nor end users can really understand (they either need a summary, or a lawyer).
Nobody wants to work together, and a lot of people in the community still make the lamest excuses (many still believe that the linux filesystem hierarchy is wonderful, whilst its obviously not user friendly, and developers are starting to ignore it more and more).
But, there is still nearly 1 year before Windows 7 is final, so a lot could happen then
