In the case of Gnome and Kde I see it as being the time between
entering my password and seeing a usable desk top. Ok it might be doing
somthing useful but when I log in to WindowMaker or QVWM all you can do is
blink and your in. With KDE and Gnome you can quite happerly go and put
the kettle on and come back with a hot cup of tea and you might have a
usable desk to. (and this is on a standalone PC with a 350Mhz Chip and
plenty of ram!)

Good now all we need is the hardware manufactures on board so we
don't need windows to support out Orion Datavoice, and our Radio Chip
Programming software. (Oh that and TFL the Brits will know what I mean).
