This (quite long) article has been written by me for two primary reasons: One, to hopefully save someone else the time and hassle associated with trying out various Linux distributions, and two, to promote some discussion and feedback regarding what a modern Linux distribution should be, and of course to contrast this with what is currently available. I am exploring the offerings of MS Windows, BeOS and MacOSX, and then taking on a number of well-known Linux distributions.

I would like to point out to the people that were complaining about this that if you want a more customizable system you can always install another shell other than explorer.
Take a look at http://www.desktopian.org/ (shell homes section) and you can see that are almost as many different win32 shells as there are window managers for linux :-P. Litestep, object desktop, aston and geoshell are probably the ones to watch out for, 3dtop (a 3d opengl shell) also looks interesting.
