I’m a Mac, I’m an Ubuntu PC

MAKE desktop Linux more attractive than Mac OS X. That was the challenge that Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth issued to open source developers in July 2008.
Now, almost two years later, Shuttleworth seems ready to put his money where his mouth is with the coming release of Lucid Lynx, the first Ubuntu to break out of its dark brown motif and orange “Human” theme since the distribution was introduced in 2004.
In a blog entry this month, Jono Bacon, Ubuntu community manager at Canonical, offered the public a glimpse of the new look that the popular Linux distribution will sport when it is launched in April.
While most users commenting on Bacon’s blog liked the new logo, some were more critical of the new theme.
“A major step in wrong direction,” one user said. “For me the message goes like [this]: ‘If you squint long enough you can fool yourself [that] it’s a Mac.’”
they're all PCs
Please, stop allowing Apple to not identify their desktop and laptop computers as PCs. They are also personal computers and this only leads to them seeming to be special in some way (which they are, if you count the DRM that is required for OSX installation, but that is all).
They're all PCs, regardless of OS.
why?
lefty.crupps is right. A pc is a personal computer, a mac is just the OS. The only thing special about a mac is that you over paid for the hardware.
isn't linux already better looking then the mac. I hate macs bubbly look that you can not change. it has the worst ui ever, well not ever but its ugly to me. With Lnux you have compiz, that blows the visuals out of the water. I dont get why try and emulate the mac ui.
