Team KDE has a very good track record on release dates and this has got to sting a little. You don't perform as well as they have without taking those dates seriously. So -- all the more reason to send roses and kudos. They've done something that's hard for them to do and kept sight of the real goal: Great software that everybody can appreciate. A year from now, nobody will remember that it was released a month later. As Vista demonstrates, everybody would remember if the release came out on time but was a steaming pile. |

The two example's of KDE4 I have played with ... it looked nice but was about as functional as a fart in high winds. |

>as functional as a fart in high winds. One does hate to dissipate a good fart. |

Quoting:it looked nice but was about as functional as a fart in high winds. And those are usually the words that run through my mind when trying out a GUI other than KDE. Hmmm... |

The Debian KDE team put together a live CD with KDEv4. http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde4livecd.html I tried it, and the only complaint I have is that flash has yet further taken over for substance. The main menu isn't a menu, it's a series of overwriting panels. My hope is that this can somehow be turned _off_. I like square corners and solid colors. Maybe there's a retro-KDEv2 theme out there. All that said, I'm using KDE right now and expect to continue to do so. |
