Don't get me wrong eye candy appeals to a lot of people, it just doesn't appeal to everyone. Valid point.
One thing I do like about Vista - not to belabor the point - is that you can have it with all the eye candy...

Or you can have it without, as you see here in what I'm running under virtualbox.

Now, if KDE 4 can do that, I'd be a happy camper. I like all the integration in KDE, so I can see benefits.
KDE 4, even with the desktop eyecandy, if _lighter_ on resources than KDE 3 was. So you have your cake and eat it too. The problem with Vista's eyecandy (and Compiz) is that is comes at the expense of system resources. Not so with KDE 4.
You can thank Trolltech and Qt4 for that amazing development.
Does it have all the functionality of KDE 3.5 and is it possible to turn off all that annoying eye candy? If the answer to either question is no, then it's crapware. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
