Which OS You Use Can Depend On What Looks Good

,----[ Quote ]
| A lot of this seems to revolve around visuals, if only because the visuals 
| for a given application or OS tend to be what we react to first and are 
| confronted with the most. I’ve talked to people who call Linux’s Beryl 
| interface "ugly," and I’ve talked to people who call the Vista’s Aero Glass 
| interface "tacky." I’ve met people who won't work with OpenOffice.org's 
| Writer because new documents open up in that program’s equivalent of Word's 
| Page View -- a feature you can work around easily enough, but some people 
| don’t hang around long enough to figure that out. And likewise, I’ve known 
| people who refuse to touch Office 2007 because they think the new tab-bar 
| interface is ugly / distracting / difficult / too much of a break from the 
| past. (I personally like it a lot.)
