We should mimic that on desktop by just copying Windows, rather than chasing unproven weird ideas.

Disagree strongly.

I'd much rather want Microsoft to release a polished supported KDE 5 or Gnome 3 than the other way around.

The thing that attracted me to free software was first the price tag (esp when I was a student) and later speed and usability.
