I understand that Linux distros are all about choice and all, but is this really the way to win new users? It looks so much like Windows that perhaps newbies will adjust to this and then stick to distros like this. By making linux look so much like Windows, it seems to me that it looses some of its identity. I read a post from someone who said that an OS's GUI is its most recognizable characteristic, and I have to agree. MacOS wins customs without doing this. I understand the need to get people to make the jump, but I think the user friendliness may be better if it's more unique.
