I don't think anybody but the most curmudgeonly of CLI geeks uses "WIMP" as a synonym for GUI any more - That was the province of Microsoft fans before Windows become viable, after which they decided that GUIs were no longer wimpy. [[User:Skyring|Pete]] 08:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

I still use WIMP for GUI... however, I don't use it as a play on an acronym. ;)... then again I may be a `CLI geek'. |

Is it neccessary to have `or GUI, pronounced "gooey".' Personally I've never heard it said that way, and would have no clue what anyone was talking about if pronounced that way... I'm not sure if the author ment it as G-U-I, or really as "gooey"(like `glue is sticky and gooey')? Anyone know of any evidence or support either way? |
|||
Also, anyone know enough about Sun's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Looking_Glass enough to through something in. I'm not sure if it's a window manager or a full desktop GUI? Maybe someone with more knowledge can decide that. |
