It was inevitable, that some open-source people would eventually try to
create an open-source "Microsoft Bob(tm)"
I suppose instead of an annoying little cat on the screen, there will be
that little fuzzball from userfriendly.org.
And you-know-who will be unhappy unless "Debian Bob(tm)" also has a gnu as
an on screen character...
Note that I'm not making fun of their hard work, as some users really do
need a MS Bob(tm) work-alike.
An open-source workalike of MS Bob(tm) may even be a realistically useful
first milestone for a new user gui, seriously!
