That being said, our list is also not for supporting Apple products,
so the same rules apply. If he wants to know whether Ubuntu can
emulate the features he asked for, we are obligated to say that yes,
it can, because there are loads of ways to do it! Themes, Avant, even
simple Gnome tricks.

Microsoft does half the work that Open Source developers do, and they
get all the money. Where's the justice there?
