Installed KDevelop yesterday and created a small application in a matter of 2 hours. Its very nice if you already know C++ and have some experience from win32 api for instance. What I like about KDE is that all the K* applications use a similar interface and communicates to the user in a similar way. Gnome is just total chaos sometimes.
The thing I like about Windows Explorer ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HKonqueror is it does everything I need for file management and web surfing. Kudo's for such a novel file manager!
I can't wait until Windows XP goes mainsteam, so we can see more innovative software coming from KDE!
personally, i prefer the sparseness of enlightenment. i tried kde for a while and i found it somewhat impressive but i like enlightenment sooooo much better. does kde have multiple desktop or virtual desktop support. i didn't try it that long.
TOP TEN SIGNS YOUR NETWORK APPLIANCE IS BASED ON LINUX
10) Console sometimes says "Filesystems have gone too long without fsck".
9) Randomly connects to slashdot and posts insipid comments under
anonymous-coward@yourdomain.com.
8) Supposed to be a web cache, but somehow turned into warez cache.
7) Whitepaper is 10,000 pages long, 1 page of info and 9,999 pages of
source code.
6) Manual only comes in two languages, Finnish and elisp.
5) Case made out of space age synthetic alloy of duct tape and dental
floss.
4) Not really sure what it does, but weenie administrator said purchasing
it would be good for "the community".
3) You get a mail from some dork named CmdrTaco wanting you to do an
interview about it.
2) You attach a line printer and it starts alternating between printing
banners of "FREE KEVIN" and something called DeCSS.
1) All your other network appliances complain about it getting drunk
and blasting the free software song at 3am.
You need to stop sucking uncle bill off whilst ballmer does you up ass. Linux can offer you these pleasure - more configurable too, and works with older men.

Well, you'll get modded down for being offtopic, but since its in a good cause:
You could check out basic donkey care for starters. Some good tips on pasture and fencing.
Or try the donkey breed society which will help with identifying illnesses and that sort of thing!
Enjoy your new anal donkey family!
Since when? Compare Mozilla to IE, and you find that IE wins on both speed AND stability. And if you're talking about desktop OSs in general, Windows 2000's GUI is not only faster than any Linux GUI (except maybe Blackbox, but Win 3.1 is faster than Win2K as well!) but for the a workstation user (who reboots every week or so for some reason or another) its just as stable too.
A deep unwavering belief is a sure sign you're missing something...
