Gnome 3 by JoeSixpack00 · 2010-02-09 06:31 · Score: 1, Troll · on KDE 4.4 Released Alongside Website Redesign

Anyone else on here notice the video of Plasma Desktop on the release page? It looks awfully similar to the proposed Gnome Shell for Gnome 3.0. I don't believe in that KDE vs GNOME fanboy nonsense, but I think it's more than fair to compare them from a technological standpoint. The primary feature pushing Gnome 3.0 was Gnome Shell, but KDE has almost completely duplicated its functionality 6 months before 3.0's release date - assuming it won't be as buggy as Plasma was when it started out.

I wonder how this will affect the future of KDE and Gnome.

DISCLAIMER: Yes, I know it's unlikely, but this is a what-if.
Would you trust it to OpenOffice? Why? Couldn't it hold your files for ransom too? It couldn't? Because the source is open you say? Having the source out there before the fact didn't help in that case, so why would it help in this case?
