So CairoShell is a project that was launched in 2007. The project's goal is to make a better and easier to use layout for Windows. In the beginning a lot of people got hyped up mainly because of their amazing concepts but I must say they are not nearly close to 10% of what they want.

Another disappointing thing is that they are still on 0.0.1.9 after two years and promised this:



But yea for those who tried the 1.9 Alpha release you must be quite disappointed. But back to the point I have created a poll to see what you guys think about the CairoShell project.

Honestly I don't think it will ever succeed. Microsoft is a big company with a ton of developers in Redmond and pretty much all over the world making sure Windows is finely-tuned and works with as much software out there as possible. No alternate/custom shell will ever be near as reliable as compatible, and that's a fail in my book. It's a fun and interesting project, that's for sure, but I don't think it has that much of a purpose in the real world.

I agree with your point but I believe it will become something someday but it will be like Linux: Unreliable and buggy.

And you base that on what? we have several servers and machines running Ubuntu and Ubuntu server for more then a year without incident, virus infection or need to reboot for unexplainable reasons, so where is the unreliable in that?

I am more talking about Linux OS than Linux Servers OS since those are good .

If CairoShell is ever released it will be for an outdated OS. I bet that the whole project dries up long before they get close to a release.

Wrong and wrong. You have no idea what you're talking about.
