It defaults to GNOME2 and it looks familiar enough that random people can walk in and begin using it. I admin a public lab that is currently running Centos.

Are they going to get preloaded onto tablets or something? Ha! The resource requirements for GNOME are far greater than Android so it would be a top of the line product, so who is going to put GNOME3 on a flagship product? Who? Nobody, that is who. Who is going to suddenly start using Linux + GNOME3? Will any of us current users recomend it? Doubtful. My sources are telling me Windows 7 will follow much the same plans as XP did, with availability as a "downgrade" option for the next year at the very least.įurthermore, Microsoft STILL allows downgrades from some Win7 editions to WinXP! (see )Īnd it won't have newbies either. Windows XP still available from Dell = October 2012 Sadly, though, I'd like to present you the Flamebait of the Day award for that last bit.

Of course corporate types will be able to stay on Win7 for years end users won't be able to buy a new PC without 8 after the new year.Īnd when OS X gets the iOS makeover they won't have any choice either but of course they will all suddenly decide it is insanely great and exactly what they wanted all along.Īgreed regarding the Metro loophole business, though I'm sure this isn't the last we've heard on this. Heard the latest? The prereleases have been hacked to default to a normal desktop but the RTM has 'fixed' those hacks so they won't work. Pity the poor fools on Windows, they are about to get Metro whether they want it or not and they aren't going to have many options. The difference is we get a choice, we don't have to accept what they create. And no matter how many users leave neither the Unity or Gnome Shell devs will admit they are leading in a direction few care to follow.
Fedora probably won't abandon the GNOMEs anytime soon but can anyone see GNOME3 being the default for RHEL7? Ubuntu has went their own zany way with Unity but if the alternate (XFCE, KDE, Mint, etc) spins/forks aren't already accounting for more installs than the base Ubuntu it is only a matter of time because a broken desktop isn't going to fly. Nothing focuses attention like becoming the default desktop environment. Hopefully a bit more focused attention will lead to quicker fixes.Įxactly.
