	Consumer-Linux company Eazel closes \| CNET News.com
		Eazel was founded by veterans of some of the most successful consumer endeavors in computing history.
		Eazel's work was an extension of the GNOME user interface that sought to make a Linux graphical interface as easy to use as those in the popular Macintosh and AOL systems.
		Eazel, the brainchild of Mac OS co-author Hertzfeld, got as far as releasing version 1.0 of its Nautilus interface in March.

	Eazel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eazel was a computer software company based in Mountain View, California.
		Staffed with former employees of Apple Computer, Netscape, Be, Linuxcare, Microsoft, Red Hat and Sun Microsystems, Eazel's goal was to produce the Nautilus file manager for the GNOME desktop environment on the Linux operating system.
		Shortly after releasing Nautilus 1.0, Eazel went out of business in May 2001 after being unable to secure additional venture funding.

	Nautilus: here today. Eazel: gone tomorrow? - TechUpdate - ZDNet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Eazel's Nautilus 1.0 shipped this week and banished any remaining qualms about Linux's viability on the desktop.
		Eazel, meanwhile, cut 40 jobs in the business and marketing teams -- half its staff -- and may not have much future left after it finishes out its contracts to port Nautilus to commercial Unix platforms such as
		While it's sad to think of Eazel losing out on the earnings potential of its work, at least workers there know that their efforts will not have gone to waste.

	Desktop Linux / Eazel Inc. Could Change the World Or Go Broke Trying
		Eazel's embryonic business plan envisions eventually charging users a low monthly fee, about $4, in exchange for a series of Web-based services, which can include automatic file backups and assistance in resolving conflicts between software applications.
		Eazel hasn't solved the biggest problem holding Linux back on the desktop, however, which is that the most popular desktop software applications, such as Word, are optimized to run under either Windows or MacIntosh.
		Eazel contributes to solving the problem by making it easier for users, particularly unsophisticated users, to begin migrating to the Linux platform.

	Eazel does it - Salon
		Eazel has received much attention from the free-software, open-source community, mostly because of the rich lineage of its core employees, nearly all of whom boast illustrious Apple Macintosh backgrounds.
		Eazel's ultimate goal is to make Linux safe for the desktop, to bridge the not inconsiderable gap between the arcane power of Unix-like operating systems and the ease of use of the Mac or Windows interface.
		It's likely that Eazel will have to think of other, more gripping "value adds" to go where no Linux-related company has gone before, into the realm of profit.

	Macworld: Eazel Gets Erased
		When a group of Apple veterans formed Eazel last year, the company was seen as a guiding force in taking the Linux operating system mainstream.
		Eazel CEO Michael Boich told reporters that the company's efforts to build a friendlier interface for the grassroots, Unix-like OS would take ease of use to a new level, ultimately surpassing Windows and the Mac OS in simplicity.
		Still, the end of Eazel certainly does not mean an end to the development of a Linux GUI.

		Eazel has also worked some deals with companies like Red Hat, but it is hard to see them amounting to much.
		A couple of years ago, a company like Eazel could count on a new round of funding to keep it going while it figured something out (...someday...), but those days are gone.
		Eazel the company may have failed, but the company has left behind a legacy: the Nautilus code, which is licensed under the GPL.

		When Eazel failed, journalists quickly recognized that they had an opportunity to trot out their essays questioning the viability of desktop Linux.
		As convenient as Eazel's demise was as a news hook, however, the event does little or nothing to shed light on Linux's future.
		Eazel closed up shop because it failed to find a business model that would support its continued development of an open-source product it was bound to give away.

		Eazel's business case is that will make its money from services, and that the file manager is the first place new users look for these services.
		Eazel is also creating an opportunity for third-party clients to live in that window, for example.

	Salon.com Technology \| Life after Eazel
		Eazel, the open-source start-up that promised to do for Linux-based operating systems what many of its founding engineers had done for the original Macintosh -- make it fun and easy to use -- is dead.
		This is the free-software world, after all, and Eazel protected much of its code under the Free Software Foundation's GPL license, meaning, theoretically, that it should always be available to anyone who wanted to keep working on it, whether or not the company that had funded its original development was still around.
		And, to be sure, less than 24 hours after the announcement that Eazel was closing its doors, one mailing list devoted to Linux desktop interface development recorded an impressive level of disaster management.

		Eazel hopes to change this trend by launching this platform, which has all of the features associated with Windows operating systems and is developed by former Macintosh employees.
		Eazel's precarious situation was also compounded this week when the company laid off more than half of its 70-person staff.
		Eazel signed a deal with Dell last year to have its software bundled on every Linux desktop sold by Dell and to have links to Eazel's set of services.

		While the addition of Eazel and its software heavy hitters are a major boost to the Gnome team, the rival KDE interface is likely to remain a strong alternative.

		When software firm Eazel issued its March 2001 announcement to make the Nautilus program available for free download, it seemed that it had, in a sense, redeemed Corel's failed bid and stood ready to woo users to Linux on the desktop.
		To many, the closure of Eazel signaled the final end to the halcyon days of high-flying high-tech funding that arguably made possible some tremendous leaps forward, particularly for open-source projects, such as Linux.
		Eazel team member Bart Decrem said, "the software will live on and, we hope, continue to improve." Nautilus lead developer Darin Adler has likewise stated intentions to channel his energy and efforts to maintaining the project, an objective pretty much universally stated by the Nautilus team.
