Re: Bash gets the extend, embrace, extinguish treatment
Off the top of my head:
1. Group policies (and AD in general)
2. Using the thing with a touchscreen.
Hate Microsoft to your heart's content, but hey, they do care about their paying customers.
1) I think that there's plenty of evidence for that. SAMBA seeks to clone AD in general. Also there's more tools to integrate Linux management into Windows Domains than there are to integrate Windows (or indeed, anything else), into Linux / Unix management. NIS+ anyone?
2) Personally I consider Gnome's efforts to be both touch / desktop friendly has resulted in some unnecessary and avoidable awfulness. At least some distros (Centos) using it somewhere down the line have had huge window controls, presumably for the benefit of fat fingers on a touch screen, that completely waste screen space on a desktop.
