In 2002, both KDE and GNOME released their last major revisions; KDE released KDE 3.0 on 3rd April, while GNOME followed shortly after with GNOME 2.0 on 27th June. For the Linux desktop, therefore, 2002 was an important year. Since then, we have continiously been fed point releases which added bits of functionaility and speed improvements, but no major revision has yet seen the light of day. What's going on?

Every version of Windows gets the praise "the first version of Windows that one could consider to be usable". And then 6 months down the line everyone's complaining about the viruses, the spyware, having to reinstall because it's slowed to a crawl due to the registry being full of crap, etc.
Why should it be different this time? It isn't. except that it's 7 times as big, MS in their wisdom have not only kept the registry but extended it (boot settings used to be in boot.ini, now they're in a registry hive), they wrote this "great new secret security API" which they have now been forced to open, OEM's aren't interested, and MS aren't bothering to market it.
