No, the opposite. Vista keeps all of its past alive.
Ah, no. Vista has broken with enough hardware and software that most businesses can't "upgrade" to it.
KDE4 tries to port everything worth doing things the new way. Unfortunately this needs mcu hresources in people and time, so not everything is read from the start and some things will be left behind.
What was so wrong with the old way? Oh wait, they wanted to add bling, and KDE3 couldn't do it. That's the motivation.
A clean KDE4 (without anything from KDE left) will need less resources then KDE3 alone.
That's the rumor. So far I haven't seen it.
BTW: This is the wrong list for such things. The decision to go this way has been made by the KDE project, not by openSUSE. Yes there are KDE developers on this list, but only a small fraction of them.
No thanks. I don't need to butt heads against people who have already decided that KDE4 is better and have forgotten what made KDE3 great. Give me easy options to turn off eye-candy. And no, I don't NEED widgets. They are useless to me and annoying. Like the OS X and Vista Dock. Is KDE4 going to have a way to emulate the KDE3 desktop?
