KDE 4.1, which is supposed to become the KDE4 version usable by 'normal' people, is coming at the end of July. When Ars reviewed the beta release, they were positive in that it was moving forward at an "extraordinary pace". Despite the positive notions in the news, many seem to have problems actually seeing all the new stuff being done in KDE4 - just like how people fail to see the massive amount of work put into Vista. KDE developer Rafael Fernandez Lopez (I'm sorry for the lack of diacritical marks, an OSNews bug we're working on) decided to put together a screencast showing off all the new stuff coming in KDE 4.1.

I'm not sure where you're looking. All I see is a reference to KDE 4.0 on that page, which makes sense being that it's the released version and all.

Nice try.

The liveCD's that Steve Binner provides are autogenerated by the openSUSE build infrastructure. The 4.1 CD's are a convenience for the community based on regular snapshots, not some sort of endorsement by KDE that it is ready for prime time.

But go on, if it makes you feel better.

Nice Try? Try taking another look at the link provided, the paragraph with heading "Live CDs with KDE 4".. still can't see the link to the KDE4 live CD?

Also your attempting to twist my words, I never said KDE endorsed this link, I said they recommended it otherwise they wouldn't have put it on their site as an example of trying out KDE4. As KDE is non functional without an OS to run it upon, of course they have to link to a linux distro's so one can try out the KDE DE.

Clearly you are only trying to troll, hence I will put a challenge to you to provide a link to any linux distro with KDE4 on it (available as ISO), where someone can easily download and try out KDE4 out.

Where is this stable version of KDE4 you claim exists?
