As so often the UI shots look _exactly_ like Windows XP. Come on guys; you won't beat MS by imitation, which is well known as the sincerest form of flattery. Looking like Windows just tells everyone you're only playing catch-up.

Although I know your intention wasnt to imply that Linux and the unix world are playing catchup, but actually your statement above is so very true. I mean honestly, not that Im not for a cheaper windows like alternative, but I say the way you make folks switch is to equal or improve on the standards (Windows, Apple OS) in feel and functionality, and you need the windows holy grail of massive commercial software support.
