A really interesting GUI for the PPC

Ah! This is going to give me nightmares! I worry that the next version of
PocketPC will look, feel, and operate as poorly as windows XP, so that's
really scary!

The early CE PDAs were heavily criticised because the GUI was too close to
the desktop Windows GUI, and that paradigm clearly didn't work well on a PDA
Fortunately Microsoft learned that lesson, I don't think they'll go there
again. Unfortunately there's no accounting for some peoples taste, but I
doubt there'll be much call for this product.

What are you talking about, XP is one of the best OS's out there. The
stability rivals linux and the power is unchallenged. Hell, I've never had
XP crash, lock up, or otherweise go kablooie. I only ever shutdown my
computer when I have to restart it for program installations. I have to
restart my PPC more often that my PC.

So I ask you, how is it that scary?
