KDE "KDE 4 is coming. It's starting to look and behave in a mature enough manner to use it on a normal desktop. This article is a little introduction as to what you should expect from the brand new KDE that is due out later this year." Lots of screenshots too.

Mature enough?

" It’s starting to look and behave in a mature enough manner to use it on a normal desktop."

AND

"The taskbar, despite the fact it was on the bar, didn’t display processes and all the effort I made to add any applets or the pager was in vain, resulting with a complete crash of the bar: succession was only met with the placement the Kickoff menubar."

These two statements just do not fit together.

That said, I am really looking forward to the final version.

I don't know. The two bugs he mentions aren't really going to prevent you from getting work done. As long as you know they exist you can work around them. Now it is obviously unacceptable for a release product, but if you want to test KDE4 and are willing to put up with a few of these annoyances it is perfectly useable for day to day work for a user willing to test out an alpha project.
