KDE 4.1 delivers a next-gen desktop Linux experience
,----[ Quote ]
| Although the weaknesses of the flawed 4.0 release provoked widespread
| criticism from users, version 4.1 is so polished that it feels like a
| completely different piece of software. This version truly delivers on KDE's
| promise of a next-generation Linux desktop environment, and it completes the
| foundation for a strong 4.x series.

A remaining barrier is people's habits (resistance to change). There's already
a Live CD for KDE 4.1 and this option too:

| KDE 4.1 is finally out today, as you probably already know, and it comes with
| a lot of innovations for the Linux desktop. KDE 4 is the next generation of

| powerful yet easy-to-use desktop, for both personal and enterprise computing.
| The new version provides increased stability over the first KDE 4 version and
| more eye candy!

KDE 4.1 to officially support Malayalam
,----[ Quote ]
| The amazing collaboration and enthusiasm showed by Swathanthra Malayalam
| Computing’s (SMC) KDE subproject made this possible. We had to cross the kde
| essentials barrier, which is required for inclusion in a KDE release as a
| supported language in a very short span of time. We achieved this milestone
| by completing 10000+ strings in about 10 days by 30+ contributors.

KDE 4.1: What to Expect
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4.1 is going to be a very exciting release. I personally opted not to use
| KDE 4 when it was first released, since it was way too buggy and was missing
| far too many features. This could change in a few days.

Shuttleworth has some nice words for KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Mr Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth, slowly warming towards KDE? Or is the man
| merely trying to keep the KDE folk onside, after a whole host of "technical
| writers" have attacked the new release of that desktop environment?
|
| [...]
|
| Given the amount of flak that the recent KDE release - 4.0 - has taken from
| the pro-GNOME pundits at sites like linux.com, you would think that the worst
| possible thing any supporter of GNOME - as Shuttleworth is perceived to be -
| could do is to speak out in support of anything associated with KDE.
|
| But you would be wrong. Shuttleworth is now floating the idea that there can
| be a QT-based GNOME.

Improvements in KDE’s Folderview
,----[ Quote ]
| Folderview is an awesome plasmoid which makes it possible to show the content
| of a folder on a screen. It also is the first step to say good bye to the
| traditional way of storing links and folder on the desktop itself. The idea
| is that files inside the folder “Desktop” are not shown right on the desktop
| but that in general files from any folder or place can be shown
| in “containers” on the desktop.

KDE 4 Progress: New plasmoids, Akonadi, KRunner and more
,----[ Quote
| In spite of fragmentary information about changes, that I’ve published since
| my last insight (like the Amarok 2 visual changelog), I’ve decided after all
| to gather them all in
| one place. Hence, I invite you to the next insight of KDE 4. The revision of
| the day is 811150.

Screencast: Showing Off KDE 4.1
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
