CNN :The tale of the gratuitous GUI

"Then it was time for the Electric Kool-Aid X Server Test, the moment of truth. I bypassed the creation of yet another boot diskette, clicked exit, and watched the screen go weird as the install shut down. The screen always did that at the end of the graphical install with the Banshee, too, as if the install program had seized the video card in a Vulcan death grip in order to have its way with it, and then released it suddenly, letting it slump unconscious to the floor as it let go." If Apple can actually pull off building an OS that is easy to set up *and* is truly robust, then maybe they really will change the world.
