This past week, Linspire showed the first public demo of Linspire Five-0. I was lucky enough to play with it for the last week, and within, you'll find a detailed walkthrough of what's new with Linspire.

That's nonsense. A well-preconfigured KDE (I don't talk about the default settings delivered by the KDE team) is superior in terms of being appealing to new users. This is the reason why most newbies prefer KDE and this is also the reason why it's the prefered desktop for all non-geek desktop distributions.
Of course everybody and every distribution has got its very own ideas of how a desktop might appeal to new users.
So every distribution ends up with adding their own settings and modifications. KDE provides a very modular and consistent framework and delivers technologies (like Kiosk e.g.) that make it extremely easy to significantly change or limit any desktop behaviour down to your needs.
KDE provides a very flexible desktop that allows modifications in a simple and very cost-effective way to meet the desktop vision of the respective distributor (or migration project).
