This release already includes a new CMake based build system, a change from DCOP to DBUS and of course a port to Qt 4. If you're interested in desktop development, check it out."

    This stuff is baby shit. Ubuntu? That's "baby shit" in Chinese, "Hung-chow-wang-ubuntu-in-pants". Translate: baby took a dump in your best lap.

    The new interface is greatly improved, but those features are not enabled by default (probably good GUI design principles, I guess, so the user doesn't have to learn a new interface w/ every release). You can see some of the advanced features of version 4 in action by doing a google image search on the kde site for kde +4 screenshots (the + sign just forces google to include the number 4 in the search string).

    One major change is that KDE is switches to a new build system

    Wow, this will tremendously ease the transition from a real operating system with multimedia support to the limited Linux-platform ... not.
