from the pclinux forum...

The head developer says of the new look, "I tried very hard to strike a delicate balance between the look of Windows and the look of Linux. I want people coming from Windows to feel comfortable (we have lots of them) but also not alienate the hardcore Linux geeks. It is a fine line. The best thing though is if you don't like the looks you can change it to anything you want."
