Andre Alves Garzia, the Google Summer of Code student appointed to work on the Network Preferences, wrote a new post over at the Haiku Blog-O-Sphere concerning that very same subject. In his latest post he compares and comments the Preferences windows from other OSes, like OS X, Windows, Ubuntu and ZETA. He gives his opnions, pros and cons on each of them and what he'd like to take from each (and what not to take) and incorporate into Haiku's own Network Preferences.

It's a long but definitely an interesting read, with a few comments following it as well, so head over there and enjoy it. Can't wait to see the first fruits of his labour.
