Have you ever worked in the software industry? You sell systems by providing "effects" that make the managers think it's brilliant even it's not. One of the companies I use to work for had a good solid system with generally better functionality than the companies we were competing against but we often lost deals because we didn't have the flash-whizz-bang effects of the other systems. Eventually we put them in even though from a business perspective they were completely useless just so that we ended up on the short list...
KDE 4 is getting there...but it's NOT THERE YET.
And neither is Vista but it doesn't stop Microsoft selling it... :-) At least you have the choice with openSUSE about what you want to install. Even if it's Gnome :-)
The one thing I cannot fathom is why people always have to bring up the M$ product(s) in their argument(s) when discussing the inadequacies of a Linux distro. such as openSUSE? Doing so is akin to what Godwin's Law states. Always comparing Linux distros against M$ 'merde' is by default admitting that M$ is somehow a "standard" - which it isn't - against which everything under the sun has to be compared and evaluated.
