Looks of one's desktop matter to everyone, except those who envy ("Zoom" in
this case). I used OS 9 for over a year and it was very pleasant to the eye
compared to XP. However, OS X is truly a joy to use (I only used it a handful
of times). KDE 3.5 and 4 (with Oxygen) offer a similar kick in the pants. They
just need a little tweaking and KDE limits nothing.
