73 +When you load up GNOME, you will notice that its interface is sober but well
74 +designed: the GNOME menu limits itself to the tools you'll most likely use while
75 +hiding the rest of the tools that probably confuses most of the users anyway.
76 +The window decoration is simple, but gives a nice finished look. Configuration
77 +options are limited at first sight and very easy to comprehend. Real
78 +configuration gurus know that GNOME has a very extended configuration model, but
79 +it is hidden from the interface because most users wouldn't need it anyway.
