   Wow, this train really went off the rails!   
      
   My only thought was that the theme put on top of KDE, and maybe some mods to   
   apps, made   
   the system look and feel rather close to Windows.  Amazingly close IMHO.   
      
   I could care less if anyone wants to jump ship from Windows, or if they   
   understand what's   
   under the hood etc.  It's just fun to look at.
