KDE 4 to Be Released on January 11th

Posted by Zonk on from the cogs-start-turning dept.

VincenzoRomano writes "It's official! KDE 4.0 will be released on January 11th of next year. The release itself doesn't sound very firm, as 'the developers are confident to be able to release a more polished and better working KDE' and not the long awaited prime-time release. At the very first Alpha release on march 11th, the release date had been forecasted to October 2007, and then shifted to the end of the year with the second Beta. Despite this, the promises for the fourth version are quite interesting and maybe deserve a 'stay tuned'."

    Because those people would be marked as Gnome trolls. PS I hate KDE as a DE with a burning passion.

    Maybe with configuration, but look at features in stead. Windows has way more features than GNOME. For instance just a basic thing like "Open with" in explorer. In GNOME you can not open files with applications isn't officially GNOME sanctioned to open those files, and there is no way to change that, even though the have an editor for changing fileformat bindings, it doesn't allow you to add new programs. It basically goes on like that in every GNOME application. Windows is simple much more powerfull and usefull than GNOME.

    I was seriously considering switching to GNOME

    But... but... but... ::gasp:: I thought GNOME was supposed to be completely unusable, with every new release having fewer features than the one before it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!111?!/!11
