True, GNU/Linux is not to poach Windows users. But. If Linux looked,
'nicer', more people would use it. I know that's shallow, but reading some
non-linux PC magazines the issue of look and feel is raised. Also, a while
ago I sold my notebook PC, which was running Warty. The person re-installed
Windows on it (after paying for the huge amount XP costs). When I asked her
why, it was the,'intimidating look' that put her off.

A simple bit of eye candy would make Linux more accessible HAS to be a good
thing?
