The promise of Desktop Linux (DL) has been long coming. It's made significant progress since the mid-90s when GNOME and KDE came out, giving Linux users a somewhat modern desktop to work upon. However, it's been 7 years and DL hasn't progressed much at all since then. Today, DL is still nothing more than a UNIX-clone with a task bar, a start menu, and a desktop with some icons on it. But why has DL evolved at such a glacial pace?

Wait another 12 months and if you have an open mind, you will be astounded.
Yeah, and they year 2000 was supposed to be the year of the linux desktop. KDE will never be dominant because its based on a toolkit from a proprietary company in Norway. Gnome is technically inferior, but probably has a better chance in the longrun just for the fact that its underlying toolkit has a better license.
