KDE 4.1 to bring back Konqueror tree view, other goodies
,----[ Quote ]
| When I wrote about file managers in my review of KDE 4.0, I noted that
| several important features had been removed from Konqueror, including the
| tree-based detailed view. Many power users regard the tree view as the most
| effective mode for advanced file management and mourned the loss of this
| feature. Developer Peter Penz reports that the tree view has been restored
| and that it will be fully functional in time for the KDE 4.1 release.

GNOME 2.22 focuses on utilities and standard applications
,----[ Quote ]
| For the average user, few of these improvements are must-haves. The sole
| exceptions are probably the new accessibility features, which, for people
| with disabilities, may be far-ranging enough to make GNOME their desktop of
| choice.
|
| Nor does GNOME 2.22 attempt a radical reinterpretation of the desktop, the
| way that KDE 4 does. However, to be fair, no one should expect it to, given
| that GNOME 2.22 is an incremental release.
|
| What GNOME 2.22 offers is an accumulation of small improvements, similar to
| those of the last few releases. These improvements are unlikely to be enough
| for many people to rush out and compile the new version for themselves, or
| even to burn a CD of the latest snapshot of Ubuntu 8.04 or install Foresight
| 2.0, which was released at the same time as the new desktop version. All the
| same, when the new version trickles down into the repositories of other
| distributions, most users should find a handful of improvements they will be
| glad to have.

An Early Look At KDE 4.1
,----[ Quote ]
| The first alpha release of KDE 4.1 isn't planned until the end of April, but
| this past weekend the OpenSuSE team had updated their KDE Four Live spin
| against the latest KDE 4.0.66 snapshot packages. The KDE 4.0.66 development
| packages contain new Kickoff and Plasma features along with much other work
| to the numerous packages that will ultimately make up this first major update
| to KDE 4.

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.
