Enlightenment ROCKS!!! Very kool window manager (I could live with a 
twilight scene of a bay with water lapping as my background). Tony 
had his CD Jukebox playing some MP3 files going as well (5 CD-ROMs 
full of MP3s will take how long to play?). Comparing Enlightenment to 
Win95 is like comparing Win95 to Win3.1

>From what I saw of Gnome (a quick few glances between the crowd 
around the keyboard) it is "good". The results is similar to what 
would happen if you took all the Linux desktop developers and 
randomly assigned them to the two projects (KDE and Gnome), net 
result is both desktops have their good and bad points. Almost a 
desktop equivalent to the Linux/FreeBSD development (eg: stealing the 
good ideas from each other).
