No flames, please!

Last summer, I switched my laptop from Windows Vista to Mac.  It took a 
bit of rethinking to accept the new desktop. I think it will be the same 
process for Gnome 2 to Gnome 3.  I can make Gnome 3 work for me without 
avant-window-navigator, but I've come to like the Mac look and feel (and 
the eye candy of the dock).  The functionality is still there, for the 
most part, in Gnome 3, but it's in different places.

Here's a screenshot:

Gnome 3 is still a work in progress, so <underline>as Fedora 
users</underline> interested in being on the leading edge, it behooves 
us to try the new stuff and provide <very bold>constructive and useful 
feedback<back to normal> feedback about how it's going for us.
