KDE "If you follow technology trends, you have probably heard of the semantic desktop -- a data layer for annotating and sharing the information in your computer. But what you may not be aware of is that the semantic desktop is not a distant goal, but scheduled to arrive at the end of 2008. And, when it does, the idea will probably be implemented through the work done by the Nepomuk project, and, most likely, by KDE first."

KDE Distortion Field

In their emulation of Mac OS X the guys at KDE have grown a reality distortion field of their own.
It flickered a bit when they released 4.0(They don't have Steve Jobs, after all), but now it is all up again.

"No, panel still doesn't autohide, but look, meta-data and floating widgets!!
No, we haven't figured out how to use meta-data successfully yet, but we will very soon! Stay tuned!
"

And the major distributions buy this and make KDE4 their default desktop. Really amazing.
