This is rather a misrepresentation. Significant changes were made
after the discussion on the lists and bugzilla. The DVD installer does
offer KDE3 at the same level as KDE4 with a suitable description to
indicate that the former is less bleeding edge.

I have been totally disappointed with KDE4. It looks way too much
like Vista. The colors, icons, and schemes are so much different from
v3.x to make it a bad experience IMHO.

If you download the KDE4 livecd then you will get KDE4 (surprise).

Which makes no sense to me. I for one would have prefered a KDE3
liveCD. I installed both KDE 3 and 4 on my E1200 Celeron. I have
played with v4 a little, but I keep dropping back to v3.x. And, on my
laptops I don't even bother with v4. It's way too slow for a P3/500.
Which makes no sense because they claim that KDE4 uses less RAM and is
faster than KDE3, but that hasn't been my experience.
