X11, Window Managers In 2002, both KDE and GNOME released their last major revisions; KDE released KDE 3.0 on 3rd April, while GNOME followed shortly after with GNOME 2.0 on 27th June. For the Linux desktop, therefore, 2002 was an important year. Since then, we have continiously been fed point releases which added bits of functionaility and speed improvements, but no major revision has yet seen the light of day. What's going on?

It is making use of intel's hardware buffer overflow protection, It will not allow unsigned drivers to load into the system (XP allowed user override),


Well that'll go a long way to making Linux driver support as good as Windows, without a single line of code from Messrs Torvald or Cox! ;-)
