- gsich 6y agoWindows XP? Or 7? Both have a classic theme.
- Koshkin 6y agoIt's a deep question. Some think that it is a bunch of virtual terminal windows (the idea driven to the extreme in the GUI of Plan 9), while some would feel at home with a desktop being kind of a picture of a real desk. Still others would prefer a desktop that consistently follows an object-oriented pattern: you click on an icon and get a list of the object's properties and methods. (Unfortunately, too many screenshots that are meant to showcase desktops that people like just show a flowery background image and a bunch of random windows on top of it containing a picture of a cat or some manga drawing.)
