If Sun hates Microsoft so much, why are they copying them so slavishly in the UI? Is it really the case that long-time Windows users will be more likely to accept Linux if it has a Start menu that matches Windows in appearance, even if it is so different in all the details?
Thank heavens we have Apple, who are willing to push the boundaries of UI design, even though Microsoft makes themselves look like such idiots when they try to copy Apple and make a complete hash of it (I run WIndows in Classic mode, because Luna is too hideous for words).
