Just copying stuff from http://www.kde.org/announcements/visualguide-3.5.php with no added value, but even substracting it doesn't make a good article. Less content, less detail, and a guy saying KDE 3.5 allows users to add applets to the panel! (The popup menu with available applets was replaced by a dialog, I guess Vaughn-Nicholls never really used KDE)

Shulai: Stephen J. Vaughan-Nichols is one of the good guys out their. He may be the most influential mainstream journalists on our side. He's widely read by non-Linux people.

Try not to be so hard on him. He does an article a day praising Linux and shooting at the knees of Microsoft.

In my opinion, there is no such thing as worthless review, even if it was full of criticism and repetitions. There are reviews that are better than others but never worthless. I find it helpful sometimes that reading an article more than once would bring hidden substance otherwise we miss the first time around. Believe me I know, it happened with me few times. This is just me and a thought.
