KDE The article yesterday on KDE4 triggered both Sebastian Kuegler and Aaron Seigo to respond via their blogs. Kuegler writes: "The Free Desktop and KDE have come a long way during the last years. There have been various huge changes in KDE's social structure, in it's infrastructure and of course in the sourcecode itself. I've split this into three different areas where I think a shift in paradigm has taken place." Seigo writes: "Mark my words: KDE4 is a revolution unfolding and you're getting to watch it all happen from the very beginning."

KDE 4 will certainly be a revolution in terms of the free desktop,

Oh, you're defining it that way. The same tactic Microsoft likes to use. Smooth. In that context, fine. Carry on.

I didn't realise there was a perfect way to define a revolution?

Initially it will be a revolution in free desktop terms, and they then have the infrastructure underneath them to go beyond what OS X and Vista are doing and really do something different. If you're comparing a revolution against Vista and OS X then I'm sorry, OS X and especially Vista are not terribly great benchmarks to use ;-).

The same tactic Microsoft likes to use.

I didn't realise that we'd had four years of KDE 4 betas and previews telling us how good it is?

When you confine the "revolution" to not consider many other things that have already done the same things, yeah it's pretty esay to be "revolutionary".
