KDE Receives Praises for Innovative Features
Filed under:
VER wondered what a Windows XP clone that is based on Linux would look like? Just follow the link to find out. Apart from various Linux distributions that achieve Windows ‘lookalikiness’ out of the box, there are many extensions too. Regular and long-time Linux users , however, are rarely happy to discover some a new “Start” button for Ubuntu, for instance. And I speak from recent experiences and observations here.
On a related note, KDE is frequently said to imitate Microsoft Windows a little bit too much (design mistakes included). Nevertheless, definitely not in spite my opposition to this claim, I always say that KDE is user-friendly, intuitive, innovative, and comprehensive. It offers me plenty of function that is not available elsewhere. I have just spotted the following ‘fresh-out-of-the-oven’ blog post, which seems to concur with my opinion:
10 Things I Love About KDE
Oh, man, a top ten list. Am I already scraping the bottom of the barrel? Don’t worry, friends. I have several articles on the back burner, but various endeavors are preventing me from completing them. So let’s just run through my favorite desktop environment ever. In no particular order, here are ten things I love about KDE.
(The list in brevity):
1. KIOSlaves
2. Krusader
3. YaKuake
4. Respect
5. KMyMoney
6. KDevelop
7. The Simple Things
8. It’s About Choice Too
9. You Don’t Get Functionality Like This Just Anywhere, You Know
10. Outlook Killer? Okay!

Hey ZaNkY,
Noticed you yesterday on Digg and befriended you before I even read your comment. Glad to have found another KDE supporter…
