Around 3 weeks ago, I downloaded the 2nd beta of KDE 3.2 from their FTP site. I've been using this release every day since then. The purpose of my writing this piece is not to highlight KDE 3.2's new features and applications - read the Changelog at KDE's site for that - but to give you a complete picture of how it measures up to its previous versions in terms of everyday use.

I agree here - there are too many silly names in linux period. Yast, xine, kate, konqueror, even Mozilla etc... I'm not saying that these programs are bad (the programs I've mentioned are fantastic!) however, to a Windoze user who is used to "Windows Media Player", "Internet Explorer" etc, it would all be a little confusing.
"KDE Media player", "KDE Explorer", "KDE Text Editor" etc. might make things a little more accessible. That's assuming that a 'doze user can accept "KDE" or "Gnome" as names for desktops...
I know that people could say the same about "Excel", "Powerpoint" etc. and I can't argue for those either.
