Flipping the Linux switch: KDE, the K desktop environment
,----[ Quote ]
| In KDE 4, the K Menu (among other things) got a radical makeover. The menu is
| divided into two parts, a lower panel consisting of several buttons:
| Favorites, Applications, My Computer, Recently Used and Leave (a really
| inelegant way of saying "shutdown menu"). The upper panel features animated
| menus depending on what is selected on the lower panel. Here you can see the
| Applications icon highlighted, with the Office applications loaded. It takes
| some getting used to (and is still a release candidate at the time of this
| post), but it is appealing to those who enjoy putting their own mark on the
| aesthetics and function of their desktop.

Introducing KDE 4
,----[ Quote ]
| As most of you already know, it's the new KDE 4 default file manager. The KDE
| 3.x version introduce a new way for file management on KDE, You're probably
| asking yourself: New? In which way? Let me answer that, it introduced for the
| first time in KDE world a simple KDE file manager, easy to follow and use,
| because I believe users will agree that Konqueror (and don't even make me
| talk about Krusader) isn't the user friendliness application out there.

Switching from KDE to WinXP #2
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion
|
| I have looked at several features that KDE?s Konqueror has but that
| WinXP's Explorer doesn't have. I have also mentioned a few of the
| things I don't like about Explorer and often why I think Konqueror's way of
| doing it is better. You may have noticed that there is nothing positive
| about Explorer. That is true and it is not for lack of trying. The fact is,
| for me, the way I work, there is just nothing special about Explorer. I
| didn't find any feature that struck me as being especially cool or useful
| that Konqueror didn?t also have.
|
| Switching from KDE to WindowsXP at work has seriously impaired my
| productivity.

KDE4 is very attractive for software service companies

| The next version of KDE4 will run natively on Mac OS X and Windows XP and
| Vista. This means that it is a very attractive platform for software
| development. No other cross-platform toolkit looks as good as Qt and has an
| equally appealing API.
