Gnome did some great steps though and became my Unix DE of choice. Another dissapointment was also eComStation 1.1, lots of installation problems and almost no notable advancements.īest desktop environment: Luna or Aqua for me. Don’t get me wrong, FreeBSD is one of my all-time favorites, but really, it just doesn’t evolve as fast as it should have Let’s hope that YellowTAB could develop and market its Zeta OS in a way that I could see more potential there too.

With the release of 2.6, Linux is sailing for doubling to ~2% of marketshare for 2004.

(Message to the ‘disturbed’ people in the comment’s section: deal with it). Robert, a single developer, has really put lots of work into it this year, outpacing in development OpenBeOS, MenuetOS and Syllable put together!īest Desktop OS: Mac OS X 10.3 Panther (I just hope that Apple stops breaking application and driver compatibility with OSX versions that came out just last year).īest Server OS: Windows Server 2003. Use the comment section to tell us about your favorites too! Innovation/Great Idea of the year: Apple’s Expose (note: Longhorn and Gnome’s Storage have innovative concepts and ideas too, but they are not out yet).īest Hobby OS: SkyOS. Here is a short list of the things I totally loved this year.
