Given the fact that they surely weren't using Windows/Mac efficiently
in the first place, I fail to see how lack of efficiency under Unix
changes anything...
Actually, I'm not sure what the point of comparing speed between Linux and
the Win9x series is. Windows 95/98/Me are mono-user systems, they have
very little notions of file access rights and they crash WAY too often.
And Shrike is faster than Win NT/2k/XP.
Seriously, all of these WM are themeable. If you don't like something
about their configuration, just change it. I'm using the latest stable
fvwm 2.x with the MacOS X theme on my Imac (it runs Yellow Dog Linux 3.0)
and I manage just fine using it.

Well, there's really not much to learn (at least in the fvwm case).
- Login
- Click on the mouse button
- Choose "Theme Management" in the menu that appears
- Choose "MacOS X" (or any other theme) in the menu that appears
- Choose "All" (or "Basic Look" or ...) in the menu that appears
and you're done.
The fact that these WM are lightweight doesn't mean that they're hard
to use by definition. If you're don't believe me, go look at the
screenshots: http://www.fvwm.org/screenshots/

Sounds like Germany and Spain have one hell of an IT department.
