I hate Apple

Maybe you should give RatPoison, or Awesomewm a shot. Then perhaps you will understand GUI perfection :D

I had to google Expose, and see that it's like the "switch windows" button on Windows 7. That button is on my quick launch bar, but I never use it. Why? Because I use a taskbar (like XP had), not a stupid dock that only shows one icon per application, and doesn't even show whether it's running or not. (I'm talking about the Windows 7 imitation dock, I have no clue what the Apple dock does).

Expose is awesome. It shrinks down all your windows to fit onto your desktop. Then you switch between them instantly. Give it a try. Windows really copied the idea poorly, I never use the Vista/7 switch windows button, it's useless.
BTW Windows 7 taskbar does show you whether an app is running and how many windows are open!
 
Anyway, there are so many awesome mods to Linux, that you shouldn't ever moan about it, customize to your heart's content!
 
I know this has nothing to do with Linux, but here's another example of the plague that is the Apple UI. That web designer should be taken outside and beaten to death with his precious iPhone. ****ing backwards scrolling, floaty icons.

Jeez dude. That's like blaming Henry Ford for a knock-off part in your car.

Sure, Apple may have conceptualized it, but it's not their fault when someone else implements it badly.

Dude, icons don't float like that on an iPhone (or OSX for that matter).

I've seen those iPhone ads. The ones where the [-]loser[/-] Apple user wipes his finger across the phone and the photos slide past. That's what the idiot web designer was trying to copy.

I blame Apple - it's their UI.
 
You're holding up some crappy Flash website as an example of Apple's UI. Apple make responsive, fast UI's, nothing like that.

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 onto my netbook, and very quickly grew to loath the sidebar. So I googled how to get rid of it, and while reading this article, I realised that Ubuntu is trying to copy Apple. All the reviewers comments are to the theme of "oooo, it looks like the dock", "it's almost like the iPad", "the window controls are on the left, just like Apple", "idiots loooove the new interface", "hardly anything can be right clicked - perfect for idiots who can't understand a mouse with more than one button".

Well **** you Ubuntu and **** you Apple, some of us want the Windows (XP) interface. Thankfully, one of the comments (three cheers for Boo) explained how to get the UI back to a reasonable and customisable interface, and another article on the same site showed how to get the get the window controls back to the right side.

I've almost got it to look like Windows.:D

Problem is, Apple has too much influence, and Microsoft has started to mess with Windows' interface; UI peaked with Windows XP, and that is where it should have stopped. Apple has less than 10% market share, and any luddite who can't handle a real OS can buy a fruit branded computer. The rest of us (who like Windows) would just like to say, "DON'T LISTEN TO THE JOURNALISTS - LEAVE REAL OSs LIKE WINDOWS AND LINUX ALONE".

Anyone know of another lightweight linux I can try on my netbook? Thanks.

No, it's not. It is *based* on their UI - why is this so difficult for you to comprehend?

Let me give you another example.

Here, I am basing the following comment on yours:

"I blaymee Applei - its there IU. Also, Im a dumbass!!!1"

So, please tell me, is the above still your comment? When someone reads the above comment, should they attribute it to you, even though it was written by me and only roughly based on your original comment? By your logic, everyone should read the above comment and thus decide that you are a dumbass who is incapable of spelling, right? Because, insofar as you are concerned, the catalyzing agent should always be blamed for the cheap knock-offs...

You need to learn the difference between an original idea and a cheap knock-off of an original idea. What you are doing right now is hating on Shakespeare because you saw a crappy high-school rendition of Romeo and Juliet.
 
Not that this is relevant but that Unity ui on Ubuntu was...Hold on! It IS relevant. This is a Linux forum, not a Apple vs Windows flameware.
