I wish I had to click my way through this series' strange world every time I looked at my desktop. No start menu or application bars. No, basically Microsoft Bob but for Linux and cooler.

No, I'm not joking. I believe the main reason why Microsoft Bob failed was because it was being sold to the wrong people. It should have been targeted towards computer enthusiasts, digital artists and whatnot by giving you a scriptable, customizable desktop world with environments that can be created, packaged and shared using programs included with it. Like dioramas that you click around to open programs, check the time, or make the bell on the virtual bicycle ding like it's a kids edutainment game. But no, they wanted it to be Windows for Technophobes and it sucked.
