Microsoft spent ,millions of $ on finding out what made a good GUI. 
Maybe it does not look pretty, but it very usable aand just because it 
was made by microsoft does not make it bad.  Those sort of comments are 
not need. Also if you think that MacOS is better then use it. Linux is 
about choice and no body is stopping you. I think that KDE uses a well 
proven GUI design and impoves it 10 fold. It has tones more features and 
looks a lot nicer too. . Maybe KDE and GNOME used the GUI from microsoft 
but they are now so differnet that you can't say that Kde is just a mi 
windows look a like.
