Gnome 2.8 just got released. Though KDE has very good Taskbar and a okay looking file explorer, I like Gnome for its elegance and its "just works" attitude at providing simplicity. Gnome has grown from 2.6 to 2.8, but what treats has it to share with us?
According to the developers, Gnome 2.8 has an improved device detection for auto-plug devices and improved network functions. Sriram will need to check this one out. He really needs his usb pen drive and sound card auto-detected. The network improvements, though touted as a major improvement, as far as i can see involves consolidating network applications into one console.
I really liked the macintosh theme (Tiger?) than the others in the screenshots page. Also check out the other major and minor changes done to the Gnome.
My opinion? Gnome 2.8 is not really tall enough to be released.
