You already made some highly controversial statements comparing KDE to MS Windows and claiming GNOME is (significantly) more light weight than KDE.
It is a fact that gnome is lighter. No, it isn't. GNOME has a simpler and more consistent UI than KDE, but both XFCE and KDE are faster and lighter on resources. I ran KDE4 on a 400Mhz PPC machine where it was slow, but worked, while GNOME swapped

My machines are slow. I use both. My previous machine had only 32 MiB of ram, and there KDE was noticiably slower, it swapped way more. That was the main reason I started to use Gnome 10 years ago, even though KDE was more complete and had a better finish in SuSE. The KDE team has done a lot recently to improve this; a good part through optimization of C++ in the compiler. Now KDE is nimbler in resources than it was, but it still feels a bit heavier, at least on modest machines like mine. Some other time I'll time KDE and Gnome starting. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
