"Recently at a Linux show, John Littler saw a preview of a new version of KDE running on a KDE developer's laptop. The interface looked cleaner than before, and apparently there was a whole raft of new stuff under the hood. John recently interviewed KDE developer Aaron J. Seigo about the forthcoming KDE 4 (due in the fall) and also a little about the recent controversy surrounding the porting of KDE to operating systems other than Linux."

I am not in the Open Source or Die crowd.
(The only reason I bring this up is to illustrate that just because you don't subscribe to any particular religion doesn't automatically mean that you lack charcter.)
But Open Source has saved me. I personally was pirating stuff several years ago. I changed my life (Dedicated myself to Christ) and destroyed all my pirated software.
Used to, about 98% of the software on my machine was pirated. And it's not easy to go legit either. But once a person decides to make integrity one of their highest values, it becomes hard to look in the mirror when you know you can't justify it anymore with lame excuses. And just to clarify, I don't have anything against anybody who converts to a particular religion and stops pirating as a result, but I made my decision in the absence of any religious influences
Anyway, I had a choice at the time .. I could either pay for my software and go nearly $2,000 into debt, or switch to Linux. In the end, after trying out the best Linux had to offer at that time (about a year and a half ago), I chose the former. And I have not regretted that decision, at least in the standpoint that whenever an app I installed gets updated, I don't have to waste my time sifting through the web or usenet looking for a crack anymore, or wonder if a cracked app I installed is going to implode on itself (which did happen occassionally) because of anti-cracking logic built into the app.
