Looking at KDE 4.2, which seems to have sacrificed functionality for
good looks & an enhanced (but difficult to navigate & configure
interface), it seems a part of Linux seems to be moving the Windows
way (re: Vista's complex operation, non-intuitive functions & the
'aero' interface) ... choice in Linux seems to be going the Redmond
way (probably an overstatement, but now may be a good time for a
check).
I am so sick of this stuck record. It has been refuted so many times by so
many users, it's simply not worth answering any more.
Hope the next
OO.org will not present us a telly-tubby look with a
'ribbon'.
And what has OOo got to do with KDE 4.2? Don't bother to answer.
Come back when you have a genuine question.
