pretty comparable now. Gnome does not yet have an office suite
that is as integrated and full-featured as KOffice, but there are
a lot of apps that use GTK/Gnome widgets and fit well with the
Gnome look and feel.
My personal opinion is that KDE feels a bit more Windows-ish, which
I don't particularly like. I use Helix Gnome and the Sawfish window
manager at home, work, and in the CS labs and I have it configured
in a manner that bears little resemblance to Windows, but fits the
way I do things.
I think they're both great desktop managers that have features that
will endear them to different kinds of users. I'm sure that a
competent administrator could set up a standardized corporate
desktop for either one that your average employee could use with
the same ease as a Windows workstation.
