You cannot standarize on a simple WM because then you would loose marketing
ground. A lot of people just sees the flash when deciding which IT solution to
use. This is why I think it is great that Knoppix comes with LXDE and can have
Compiz enabled. You can use compiz for demonstrations and getting the kids
drooling over how cool the whole thing looks. Then whenh you need to do actual
work you disable it and get a lean desktop that does nto get in your way.
