Why Linux does not look like Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| A lot of people agree on the fact that Microsoft copied the MacOS interface 
| when creating Windows. Does Windows look exactly like MacOS? Absolutely not, 
| if it did you can bet that Apple's lawyers would quickly have sent cease and 
| desist letters to Redmond. The same is true for Linux: if a distribution 
| copied the Windows interface to the point that users could be confused in 
| believing that the Linux distribution actually was Windows, that distribution 
| would quickly be taken to court. Remember the story of Lindows? In that case 
| it was only a name!

Editor's Note: Linux Should Copy Amiga

,----[ Quote
| As I read "Amiga - the little computer that could" I kept thinking how much
| more it sounded like a good inspiration for Linux than Apple. Most of the
| concepts are similar: power under the hood in easy reach, a shiny polished
| easily-customizable exterior, and an overall goal of putting the user in
| ultimate control. Put Amiga's friendliness on top of Linux's raw power,
| flexibility, and openness-- now that would be a world-beater.
