RE[2]: 1. Run Windows software.

in reply to "RE: 1. Run Windows software."
We need more focus on making apps "invisible" on apps as mere "plug-ins" to work with data types... but most importantly we should be focusing on "apps" as toolboxes to build task-specific tools and making desktop distros that play on that fact and lose the old fashioned idea of an application.
Now, I read that several times...
but what does it...
mean?

not really, Ubuntu needs focus on LINUX applications! There's far too much focus on desktop Linux as "windows-cheap". I like that many of the comparisons in the list are to mac.. but I don't want "mac-cheap" either.
I want to see KDE with it's plasmoids and new GUI elements turned into something nobody else has yet. Desktop "Linux" needs it's own way of doing things. Something clean and simple. Ubuntu has one thing going for it only Mac does.. that nearly all the apps are Free Software... there should be less bickering about which apps and more focus on small apps working together well.. that's the "linux" way.
