As much as I read in these complaing posts most problems appear with the new KDE 4, which you are forced to use, if you want to use newer versions of KDE-apps. While I understand the devolpers point, that they want/must code for the latest version, I very much regret it as a user.
But as much as I know the other distros have the same problems, they use the same KDE, don't they? So is it a general Linux distros problem, trying to reach the Windows-Users?
Is the alternative a Mac? And *is* this an alternative?

</snip> An alternative might be a more flexible implementation of the KDE 4.x series. I recall when Windows XP first came out there were lot of complains about the default 'tele-tubby' look; but users who were more accustomes to the classic style of prev Windows versions (Win NT/ 2000 & earlier), were given the option to switch to 'Classic' style, and this did not require administrative previliges. This is sadly missing in Windows Vista (and Office 2007 too, with it's couter-intuitive 'ribbon' look). Maybe the new KDE series should also offer an option to go back to the 'classic' view without the extra jizz/ effects on the desktop. This would also be a boon for those using Linux on older hardware platforms.
