The second KDE 4 developers snapshot is now available. This 3.80.2 release includes source from all the KDE modules. Application developers are strongly advised to work primarily on KDE 4 from now on. This release builds with Qt 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 (but not the 4.2 preview). Packages are available for Kubuntu and currently working through the SUSE buildservice.

XP leading on the desktop?
You cannot be a user who uses Windows and KDE approximately the same amount of the day.
Because then you would see clearly, that while XP definitely leads at some inconsequential features, KDE is by far more consistent and usable and ahead at many or most of the features that really matter (desktop clutter, window orgies, virtual desktops vs. 40 tasks in the taskbar, a decent command line).
I might add, that I am not mainly an office worker, but working on engine development, using CAD/CAE & FE programs. Here it really is necessary to have a command line which allows me to start an application at a specific location in the file system because all result files will be dumped into that folder.
As for Office work, I cannot see any shortcomings of KDE when compared to XP. It is essentially similar (or can be configured to be so).
And for Plasma: One guy is doing the design work, thats right, but he uses the tools 100s of others write. Through this he can focus on doing just the design work and not much aside it. It is like 100 people are pushing the car (adding power to it), and one is steering it.
