Have you ever been bitten by accidentally loading multiple instances of the same application in GNOME? When you click on the launcher of an already-running application in GNOME, it will load up another instance of the same application, instead of switching to the already running one. This can lead to bugs and other unforeseen behaviour, which of course isn't desirable. In GNOME 3, this issue has been resolved.

Yes, my second sentence was:
"In this we'll be in good company with newer releases of other operating systems, but it's still a major change. What I want to explain in this blog entry is what that means from a user perspective."
Insert "GNOME" before "user" here; not all GNOME users/sysadmins/developers have used Windows 7 or OS X, and I wanted to explain the change to that audience. There are no plans to run out to patent it...
