I was spending a bit of time at kdelook.org looking at a Windows XP theme. There was quite a debate going on there, between people saying that it was horrible purely becuase it was the way Windows looked, and those that actually liked it. My thought on the situation is, I find the whole thing funny. I find it funny that Microsoft spent millions of dollars consulting with psychologists and doing tests to find what sort of interface people would respond to the best and feel the most comfortable with, with the end results of their findings being the XP look. And then Linux can use the exact same looking theme for free. Microsoft spends millions, we get a nice looking interface for free. I just find that funny.

It's the begin advantage to Linux - Choice!

If you want your desktop to look like Windows, BEOS, mac, or whatever then you can. You're not stuck with what some study says people will like best.
