Funny how anybody who wants to make a point claims "everybody" agrees with
them.  Alas, I am not one of those "everybodies" and I think the stock BeOS
5.0.3 theme is the best GUI I ever used.

Yes, there is: there are no additional compelling features Microsoft can add
to Windows, yet they really want to keep forcing people to upgrade so they
can rake in the bucks.  Hmm, what to do, what to do ...

Change for its own sake is exactly the sort of evil I came to BeOS to avoid.
People who like candy-colored GUIs know where they can go to get them.
