- On the contrary, the Mac's GUI is FAR FAR superior to the pathetic excuse
- for a GUI Windows users have grown accustomed to and have been misled to
- believe is actually in the same league as System7. Why do you think there
- is such a huge demand for things like Norton Desktop for Windows and
- WinTools? Before you flame on, consider this: Norton Desktop and Wintools
- both make the Windows Interface slightly more Mac-like. You don't see
- ANY shell replacements for the Mac to make it more Windows like...there is
- a reason for that. Windows' GUI sucks.
-
- THAT my friends, is the truth.
-
- On the other hand, OS/2 2.0's interface is wonderful. I like it better
- than System 7.
