I know its so unlikely, but think about it… all of the pieces of the fully functional, fully productive and beautiful Linux desktop are here. Its just that some are part of KDE 4 and the others are part of GNOME. Look at the screenshots and features of KDE 4.1 and try and tell me its not marvellous to look at. But most of the programs I use are GNOME programs, and tbh, a lot of the stuff in KDE’s menus look like they’re quickly put together as a, “we have that too” feature.

Mark has challenged open source to be as beautiful as Mac OS and I think it’s a noble and necessary goal. IMHO, the KDE people know how to do it. (KDE has other positive attributes of course, but this one is probably the most visible)
