I appreciate all that, I really do, but I was just curious how you could
actually say Ubuntu was Windows-like? Especially if you're using Gnome
on both Fedora and Ubuntu? Cosmetically, they'd look identical to a
newbie. And if you thought Ubuntu was Windows-like, then surely, Fedora
would be Windows-like.

I've heard say Ubuntu, and thus Gnome, was very Mac-like, but never
once, Windows-like.

It's Ubuntu's control panels that remind me of Windows. It may be a small
thing but I really dislike anything that's reminiscent of Windows.
