Texstar of pclinuxonline, recently posted a bunch of screenshots from Redhat's 3rd beta release known as null. Redhat has made a huge effort via the use of similar icons and themes to make their packaging of GNOME and KDE resemble each other more closely . What do you think? (Poll Attached)

Obviously they're trying to look like Microsoft Windows.

As long as they allow you to customize, that will be good for users switching from Windows.

I had RH 7.0 on my system (until last weekend when installing RH 7.3 hosed my partition table) and I have to admit the mix of GNOME and KDE and the cluttered menu structure was a mess.

However, I think Red Hat needs to spend as much time on their screwed-up installer as they do on the desktop icons. Hosing my partition table when RH 7.0 installed fine is NOT acceptable!
