| This project aims at making the transition of Mac users to the *nix 
| environment easier. The goal of this project is to emulate the look and feel 
| of MacOS on *nix. This may interest enthusiasts too. Currently for GTK+

| The move to launchpad has also created some very cool branches of Awn by 
| other people which focus on new ideas, or new ways to implement existing

[Opinion] Switch to Linux? No. Get a Mac Clone.

| I'm a marketing guy, and I look at everything in my world from a marketing 
| perspective. From that perspective I think this whole "Switch to Linux" 
| thing is unnecessarily hard work - so I take an easier approach to help 
| people move in that direction.

| And to finish this article, Kudos to Linux. I get two reactions when
| people look at the desktop on my Laptop and Desktop. One is.. "Er.. is
| that a Mac?" and the other is "Why don't you just buy a Mac?". Well
| kudos is due, because I don't NEED to buy a Mac. I can get the Mac
| look and feel, which I like, and the massive productivity boost of
| the desktop cube ( and enjoyable extras ) even on my three year
| old HP laptop.
