By the time Longhorn comes out I'm sure everyone will be sick of the subject "windows vs linux." Will longhorn finally destroy that pesky linux and mark another decade of Microsoft's monopoly, or will the underdog come out with a stunning upset and send a multi billion dollar company to it's grave?

"Has it? Really? Well, KDE2 could run on a Pentium 90 with 32MB RAM. I'd love to see you run KDE 3.2.2 on such a system."
Yes it has. There were huge memory improvements between the KDE 2.x versions [which i didn't find very smooth on my P2/400 with 128 MB RAM] and early KDE 3.x versions. IIRC this is addressed in the KDE FAQ too. I cannot speak for the latest KDE 3.x versions though.
The same is true for Mozilla Firefox versus Netscape 7
