First can we start clipping QUOTES down to the minimum?

Fishing stinks.

I agree with Pascal here I'm afraid.  I like the direction, and it is 
distinct.  Anyone who learns _anything_ about a *nixlike environment
knows that you can customize it to your hearts content.  And that 
comes without installing 1000000s of after-market tools.

99.9999999% of the desktop users who come to check it out will
NOT be looking for alternate themes.  If they stay, they will.

We need to be distinct.  We need to be focused.  

To this end, we are.

PS:  Knowledge dictates that a computer is not akin to a 
car in any way.  It is art, literature, science, music, language,
society, and a host of other things.  We need to quit addressing
a computer like some sort of novelty gadget.
