- Considering the fact that the Windows 3.0 interface has been
- around for a couple of years now, it could be tought of as "a
- bit stale". Also considering the fact that OS/2 has a new
- object-oriented shell, it is apparent that the Windows interface
- will be considered by many as somewhat lacking when NT is released.
- Would you care to comment on this and/or perhaps provide some
- sort of time frame for when MS would *like* (as opposed to
- committing to a firm target date) to have "Cairo" implemented
- on Windows?
