Your evangelism sent off to read more, but if I go to http://kde.org
(first google hit for "kde4") none of these "scope and possibilities"
seems to be reflected there.
I have KDE 3.x installed on a 600mhz or 800mhz Thinkpad which I use
rarely, and the only improvements apparent from the screenshots is
transparency & wobbly windows.
I find Exposé immensely useful on my Mac and I love the "genie" effect
when maximising & minimising windows; I can imagine a cool animation
when using virtual desktops on Linux. But clearly you're talking about
something more than that, because that ain't a whole new paradigm.
Could you possibly explain - or provide some pointers to - what I'm
missing, please?
Stroller.
