    Re: OS feature limit?

    Including features is alright, but putting the features to good use is important. It should rightly meet the user demand. Some question the necessity of 3D compisiting enabled by default, even the devs thought about it. However, its worth trying it now before the LTS release next year.

    A bigger response than I thought. Kudos to all of you. I am thinking the next big thing will be 3D desktops that are projected into space. So in other words, star war holograms that you can interact with.

    I kind of thought that features as far as on a monitor go are done, as far as usable or helpful ones go. search your computer with tracker. 3d desktop. taskbar or avant. workspaces. virtualization. battery monitoring. wireless tools.

    one feature I have always wanted is to be on the desktop and start typing, and then I get a list that searches the computer like tracker. no need to click a button or use a key to bring up the start menu (vista, osx). thats real instant search.
    Be kind to others. Even those that are not kind to you. You never know if their mom just died.

    When you can install an OS on any hardware, have the OS detect all hardware, optimise itself for it, enable all features that the hardware can comfortably handle and interface with you like a person can

    Indeed. For example, a GUI that treats screen resolution as a gauge of image quality, not of widget size.
