KDE 4.0.0 has been released onto the world. "The KDE Community is thrilled to announce the immediate availability of KDE 4.0. This significant release marks both the end of the long and intensive development cycle leading up to KDE 4.0 and the beginning of the KDE 4 era." KDE 4.0 is the first release of "KDE 4", but take note that the developers have clearly stated that KDE 4.0 is not KDE 4, but more of a base release with all the underlying systems ready to go, but with still a lot of work to be done on the user-visible side. Download it from the KDE 4.0 info page. Update: Screenshots.

the first being that after using FF and OO.o for a few months on windows I was able to switch my GF to linux because the two apps she spent 90% of her time in were there and functioned exactly the same.
Would she have taken notice of a free desktop and switched by herself without you needing to do anything? No. Point made.
You switching your girlfriend is a laughable example.

I think you're wrong about this on two fronts... the first being that after using FF and OO.o for a few months on windows I was able to switch my GF to linux because the two apps she spent 90% of her time in were there and functioned exactly the same.
Secondly, direct conversion of users is rarely the top reason I've seen given for windows ports of FOSS projects. Mostly what I've seen people state is that they want to do it to attract more developers to their project. I'd certainly say the at least FF has benefited in this way more than if it were an FOSS OS only project
