kde4 in record rewrite time? What world are you living in! KDE 4 was postponed several times, and then kde 4.0 was a pre release technology release (KDE did say that this would be the case, so I'm not bashing them).


Name any other desktop system, including KDE3, that has become as functional as KDE4 in anywhere near the same timeframe.

KDE4, timed from the point of having no code at all until now when it has become stable and functional enough to be useable and comparable with other desktops in current use, is world-record-pace of development. KDE4 is by far and away the youngest codebase for any contemporary desktop system with a comparable level of capability.

Vista is just fine, I don't know what people are complaining about, 4-5 months now, not an issue. It just runs nicely. Dave


Vista runs fine if your purpose for Vista is to: DRM-encumber consumers; restrict and control what they can do; take ownership of their own machines and their own data away from them; require them to upgrade to the latest hardware; lock them in to a sole-source software supplier and charge them a lot of money for the privelege.

If, however, your purpose is to own and operate your own computing resource at minimal expense and difficulty and maximum cost-effectiveness, security and utility, then Vista is an absolute dog.
