Fedora Core "KDE 4 is seen by many to be the next big step on the free software desktop, while others think releasing 4.0 in its current condition was misleading and a mistake. Either way, it's an innovative release and inline with Fedora's goal of providing the latest and greatest free software it is set to be the default KDE environment in the next major release of Fedora. We caught up with two members of the KDE SIG to talk about the work they're doing to get it ready for release, their own opinions on the software and what they think about the progress made by Fedora in getting over its GNOME centric reputation."

"KDE 4 is seen by many to be the next big step on the free software desktop, while others think releasing 4.0 in its current condition was misleading and a mistake.


While those of us who have actually tried to use it on a daily basis, for doing real work, have simply found it to be unusable in its current form.

Fedora does not really have to worry about that, since KDE is not the default Fedora desktop. Happily, the majority of other distros also do not have to worry about the move to version 4, and for the same reason.
