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?

The train wreck that Vista is is not a threat to Linux, indeed it is what will get people to switch to Linux. Vista is the retarded brother of XP. Most computers in the wild will not run it well or at all because it has huge system requirements. In order to try to prevent the constant security holes of XP, it warns you whenever you try to do anything. When people see how poorly Vista runs, they will consider Linux. And in 2011, when Microsoft holds a gun to your head and says "no more security for XP, you have to buy Vista", many of you will refuse and switch to Linux.
