An interview with Andy Hertzfeld, an early Macintosh designer, talks about creating an user interface for Linux.
From my user experienced-biased perspective, I thought a standard/easy UI would keep Linux from becoming popular, or at least from threatening Windows. Hertzfeld’s Eazel could help mend that. Funny that I never thought of the UI itself also being open source, so people can change it. I wonder how they’ll let people make changes and not screw up each’s applications resources, or not lose the standardization that makes it easy for me to sit at any Mac or PC and get work done.
