How nice of you.

Of course you cannot say the same, Windows has been in development for 
years longer than GNOME, and thousands more developers have probably mucked 
with the code.  Sure we hate MS, but Windows does pretty damn good with 
what it's given.  I find it absolutely amazing that GNOME does what it 
does, I'm in awe every time I use it.

I've never used Solaris in my life.  I would assume that most of the folks 
on this list use Linux, like me.  Is there anywhere more specialized you 
can ask perhaps?

Well, what does that first line here mean?  I've never seen it before, it 
is the problem?
