"During this years GUADEC Red Hat developer Havoc Pennington proposed his idea of an 'Online Desktop' to the developers of the GNOME project. Through deep integration with web services and 'zero-maintenance' the Open Source client aims to get the 'perfect window to the Internet'. During GUADEC Andreas Proschofsky had the chance to talk to Pennington about advantages and possible problems of the Online Desktop concept, the necessity of Windows-support and about Red Hats 'return to the desktop'."

I know, but the base GNOME is still using C with OO.
And OO doesn't fit C by any means. You lose time that could be spent in coding the application itself instead of treating with GObject C and such.
But that's just my opinion. This move in my opinion would bring linux to all-time-said "next level" and maybe we could finally have a "this year will be the linux year".
Sorry for my crappy english
