"Ugggh. I hope not. I remember all those wibbly-wobbly windows in KDE and rotatable cube desktops. It was fun to see for about five seconds and then you turned it off."

I agree on that, and I turned it off too, but I admit it was fun to show it to Windows users sometimes.

The “problem” is that if you don't have “bling” like that you are considered old-fashioned and it's probably quite fun to program too.

Sun tried something similar, and quite good looking, stuff too, it was called looking glass. We are very easily influenced by what we see, and that includes cars and women and what not. I remember a girl I showed a Linux desktop, she was very appalled by it, but it turned out the reason was the background I used.

Next we will learn on TV how new and fantastic the Windows 9 is.
