EDE (Equinox Desktop Environment) is a desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. Main features of EDE are speed and responsiveness, low resource usage and a familiar look and feel. This is the second test release for the upcoming major 2.0 version. Notable changes are a new panel and XDG Desktop Menu support, a new bug report tool, and improved existing code.

And also, for the most part, the Windows interface is pretty good.
I wouldn't say that the Windows interface is pretty good, but I would say that the Windows interface is currently convenient, because it's a paradigm that most people are familiar with.

to quote one of my favourite Joel Spolsky ever, ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/chapters/fog0000000061.html , about UI design and consistency):
And, don't be so sure it's not right. Microsoft spends more money on usability testing than you do, they keep detailed statistics based on millions of tech support phone calls, and there's a darn good chance that they did it that way because more people can figure out how to use it that way.
