Sorry dooD, but my wife would never have quit Winders if it hadn't been for 
the KDE interface.  Anything that is too different from Windows and it would 
have been a no go from the get go.  It's call xenophobia, and 90% of the 
Windows users have it.  All these folks want is an OS interface that is easy 
to use and understand, and especially one that they don't have to learn from 
scratch.  Xfce, as much as I like it, is too different to be of use to your 
average Windows convert.  Ditto for Enlightenment, Ice, and even Gnome.  My 
wife described Gnome as "weird looking and ugly".  Any Windows user can 
convert to KDE without giving it much thought, and that makes it a useful 
interface, in my book.  The other window managers are pretty much for geeks, 
even though many (most) are really more intelligently designed (that, I 
think, we can agree on).
