I don't know why everybody says the ones in Vista and Windows 7 looks so good, because I think they suck, to be honest. Linux based operating systems has so many advantages for customization.
Thanks again for sharing!
Linux cursors on the other hand were always soo sooo cool! I remember playing around in Mandrake about 14 years ago (damn time sure flies... I feel old!), the cursors and the themes were so cool man... jaw dropping!
Windows never had that 'je ne sais quoi'... microsoft always seems to employ the worst GUI designers! And they will never learn! Take a look at Win8 GUI... same crappy Aero theme, but this time with squared corners and a few touch ups... yack... uuuuglyyy!
Cool that you mentioned Mandrake anyway, because that brings back good memories. I remember when they changed name to Mandriva shortly after, and I thought "no! Mandrake sounds so much more awesome!".... I alspo remember the frustration, because I had so much software and games I wanted to use, but there was no way to run these in Linux, so I was angry at the time, because I HAD to use Windows, at least partially.
I don't like the way software is going. The direction of development. It's always this nonsense debates about cloud computing, facebook integration, and how Windows 8 will be adjusted for touchscreens and shit like that. And worst of all, I heard a rumor that Windows 8 certifed computers will use some kind of boot protocol that makes it impossible to install Linux afterwards. Don't know how true that is, but it SUCKS if it's true.
And the worst think about Mandrake (Mandriva) is that now it's a paid Linux distro.
I've tried many, many linux distros over the years and hell, they are doing everything wroong, or almost.
Can't imagine why Ubuntu is leading the way and in the wrong way btw. KDE went to hell with their 4th release, Gnome 3 is following the same pattern. Damn mobile pieces of shit... why can't they stick to the mobile linux platform (Android) and why would Ubuntu for example want to invade the mobile market?? Cause that's what their last GUI (Unity crap) is saying: touchscreen all the way. Who the hell want to use a touchscreen on a desktop PC?? They are already way behind Windows in market share and if the Linux community would just focus on getting some big software players to develop for Linux as well (like Adobe for example... this might never happen), they could have a shot at spreading Linux more. My current favorite distro is Linux Mint(version 11, havent tried v12 yet) which is really awesome. Plays every media type out of the box, comes with tones of useful software and runs smooth as silk. Ubuntu can't even play mp3 unless you install some codec.
Right now 3 things are keeping me away from linux: Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office (LibreOffice is no match for it) and total commander (best file browser/manager ever made). There were also PC games which play really rare now... they say I'm a grownup you know
