Who Needs Windows 7 When You've Got KDE?
,----[ Quote ]
| As a devoted free software user, I'm almost as likely
| to stick my hand down a running garbarator as buy a
| copy of Windows 7. In fact, so far, I haven't tried
| Windows 7. But if its features list is any
| indication, I'm missing little that I don't already
| have with the latest version of the KDE desktop.
|
| Of course, exactly what Windows 7's new features are
| can be difficult to tell. The features list is as
| much a marketing document as a technical one. In
| places it's more apt to give you an overdose of
| adjectives than any specifics. Nor is every feature
| available in every edition of Windows 7.
|
| Then, too, a few listed features, such as 64-bit
| support, are so far from new that I wonder why they
| are mentioned.

| Plasma-netbook will make a big splash, and contribute
| to KDEâs rising visibility.. Many distros will still
| ignore it, but one will switch its focus to kde, and
| then anotherâ other areas of KDE will mature, and the
| benefits of our Pillars of KDE will shine throughâ In
| two years weâll be the default on most distros. Gnome
| wonât know what hit them ;)

| Nepomuk, which is KDEâs semantic desktop framework is
| a very interesting new technology, and has the
| potential to move many applications forward. Nepomuk
| needs an RDF store to save and retrieve semantic
| information, such as data from your filesystem
| indexer, tags, ratings, and other, much more complex
| bits. Up until now, there were performance problems.
| There were two possible ways to store your
| information: redland and sesame2. Redland is written
| in C++, but is very simple and by far not meeting the
| performance requirement we need for Nepomukâs use-
| cases.

| Micro$oft has hundreds of developers working
| full-time on the user interface, while KDE apps
| are usually developed by only one or two people
| at a time, most of them working in their free
| time as a hobby. Micro$oft has dozens of the
| best-paid designers in the world, KDE has a
| handful of mostly freelance artists. Taking all
| this into account, Windows 7 is a shame for the
| Microsoft developers, because itâs in my
| opinion easily surpassed by KDE in terms of
| polish and design.
