I think you're trying to read something into it that was never there. Im simply saying that MOS isnt too far removed from an RTG based amiga system in terms of the look, albiet a little enhanced. When I say, "Ive seen you make comments like that before" it means exactly and literally that. No secret messages, not having a cheap shot, just exactly what I said, as I have seen you make comments about MOS looking like a Mac. Up the resolution, color depth, add some nice colors/gradients, icons, etc. and an RTG based system looks fairly distinctive, and MOS follows that look. It's not about fancy backdrops, etc., its the look of the OS itself. While I enjoy ocs/ecs/aga theyre not completely representative of the "true" amiga look.
Although actually off topic, as for "Who wants to stare at a nice looking Workbench all day?", well each to thier own, but for me Im more interested in not having an ugly looking workbench more than wanting a nice looking one. If it's pleasant enough to not be intrussive, then that's good, as opposed to standing out 'cos its ugly. I love the system, but man, a default install sure is ugly to a point of distraction.
