KDE 4.0.0 has been released onto the world. "The KDE Community is thrilled to announce the immediate availability of KDE 4.0. This significant release marks both the end of the long and intensive development cycle leading up to KDE 4.0 and the beginning of the KDE 4 era." KDE 4.0 is the first release of "KDE 4", but take note that the developers have clearly stated that KDE 4.0 is not KDE 4, but more of a base release with all the underlying systems ready to go, but with still a lot of work to be done on the user-visible side. Download it from the KDE 4.0 info page. Update: Screenshots.

One need not look any further than the comments under this story about KDE 4.0.0. Just scanning the first 8 comments I can't help but notice these:

It's amusing, however, to see others now backpedaling on the claims. KDE4 is just another major restructuring of a popular DE. No more and no less. The claims are now migrating from 4.0, which people are beginning to realize is not really a walk-on-water release... to 4.1. I expect to be equally unimpressed then.
I'll take compatibility with popular real world file formats, codecs, and web sites (many of the sites my customers need in in their business are still IE only) over desktop pizazz any day. The "miracles" which the KDE devs have performed have little to no relevance to my users.
