I happen to like the new KDE4. 4.0 was horrendous, but it was only released for devs. 4.1 was for enthusiasts, and as said enthusiast; it's a good release.

In any case, KDE4.2 is supposed to be released tomorrow. Which means I'll probably be using it in a week. WHOHOO!!

There is a resemblance, as I pointed out to a skeptical friend when I first brought up Win7. I’m not sure that’s an entirely good thing from either side’s point of view.

I still use KDE 3. When KDE 4 gets all that functionality stuff in there, then I’ll care to switch. Luckily, since this isn’t Microsoft software, I’m not forced to upgrade.

What do KDE 4.2 and Windows 7 have in common?

Neither one will run old Windows programs?

I went Gnome a few years ago...it was much more stable and easier for me to compile. I like KDE 1 and 2, after years on FVWM (remember that?), but even though 3 was slick, it was starting to get bloated then.

I loved (and still use) KDE 3.5, 4.0 was unusable, and 4.1 was almost tolerable. Personally, I am hoping that 4.2 fixes up 4.1, particularly with regard to nvidia performance (both machines I use KDE on have nvidia cards). If it fixes the base issues like performance and features, then I’ll go skin hunting. I can’t stand the fake Apple look that KDE 4 is adopting.

I’ve been using KDE for many years. I tried 4.1, and I don’t like it at all.
