Even the KDE devs admit that the current state of KDE 4 is nowhere near complete. And even Marcus Meisner acknowledge it.

Nice language!
If you can't handle being called out on your lies, then quit writing them on this list.
Did I say anywhere in my message that KDE dev's didn't admit that the current state of KDE 4 is nowhere near complete? Did I mention Marcus Meisner?
You certainly were trying to present KDE 4 as being a completely different product, and that its functionality (or lack of it) should not be compared to KDE 3 in any way.
I don't think I did...perhaps it's becuase you are reading between the lines of what I wrote and twisting it to suit your platform.
So in other words, you're such a poor communicator that what you imply is COMPLETELY unlike what you meant for the readers to understand? In that case, Jayson, I suggest your return to grade school, and re-take all of those years of writing and English classes you missed...because for a native-speaker of the language, your demonstrated ability to use it, by your own admission above, totally sucks.
What I was saying, so that I can be perfectly clear, is that it would have been WRONG for openSUSE to present KDE 4 as "Beta" software,
If a "scientific calculator" doesn't have trig functions, then it's a ALPHA product, no matter how well addition, subtraction, multiplication and divide work.
because it is NOT Beta software. It's simply software that doesn't have the same feature set as another version of software. You, know,
Which is actually ALPHA-stage
features are added and removed from software all the time - that doesn't make software Beta quality - it makes it software without a certain feature.
Like a car without brakes. It doesn't matter if the engine starts, if it can't stop, it's not exactly the product that's expected by a car buyer. And a KDE users has every reason to expect that if they login to a new installation, and select a KDE 4 session, that it will read their KDE 3.5 configurations and IMPLEMENT IT FULLY. Anything less is missing functionality, which is ALPHA. Are you that brainwashed by Microsoft's software malfeasance that you actually consider that sort of bullshit to be NORMAL? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
