Hmm.

I have the opposite reaction.  In fact I just today nicked a little further 
into the Wall o' Windows by mentioning the flexibility of the KDE open 
dialog. 

Take this image: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/laptop_desktop5.jpg

It shows a KDE dialog. I have the regular stuff. In addition, I can add my own 
favorites, as I did here with "My Projects."  You can't do that in Windows.


My co-workers were amazed that KDE (Linux) could do this.

By comparison, the Windows open dialog is a bit more limited. I can perform 
many of the same functions, but the ability to customize is gone. 


HTH!
