The two example's of KDE4 I have played with ... it looked nice but was about as functional as a fart in high winds.

One does hate to dissipate a good fart.

And those are usually the words that run through my mind when trying out a GUI other than KDE.
Hmmm...
The Debian KDE team put together a live CD with KDEv4.

I tried it, and the only complaint I have is that flash has yet further taken over for substance.
The main menu isn't a menu, it's a series of overwriting panels. My hope is that this can somehow be turned _off_.
I like square corners and solid colors. Maybe there's a retro-KDEv2 theme out there.
All that said, I'm using KDE right now and expect to continue to do so.

So -- all the more reason to send roses and kudos. They've done something that's hard for them to do and kept sight of the real goal: Great software that everybody can appreciate.
A year from now, nobody will remember that it was released a month later. As Vista demonstrates, everybody would remember if the release came out on time but was a steaming pile.
