Re: Gnome and Microsoft



 I may have my facts very wrong, but I always thought the kissing up to 
MS was mainly due to a couple of people hi up in Gnome's leadership. 
If this is the case it doesn't bother me. I've never liked Qt's 
history of originally not being open source, I shouldn't hold it 
against it, but that combined with me not liking the interface lead me 
to Gnome as my main desktop (When I'm not using FVWM that is). 

I'm also a very big GNU fan so I enjoy using Emacs and Gnome in my 
support for more GNU oriented software as well. Honestly I say use 
whichever you prefer for the interface, both are open and so far 
haven't done anything official that bothers me yet.
