well, ego is a big part of it, but not the whole story. The point is the GNOME developers are very proud of their work as well they should be. Likewise, the KDE developers feel the same way. There's a lot of blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into both projects. How could anyone realistically expect one of the projects to be abandoned?
And I would vote for GNOME. You see, that's the problem. Neither project is going to give up their work. Neither platform is going away. I know for a fact the GNOME developers are very proud of their work and are convinced that GNOME is the desktop of the future, but I'm sure the KDE developers feel the same way.
I identify completely. For me the biggest hurdle to overcome is getting started because when I have some task that seems enormous, I get overwhelmed. I look at all the things I have to do rather than focusing on taking the first step. When I actually do get to it, I realize it's often not so bad, and after getting that first step done, I have a sense of accomplishment which pushes me to take the second step, the third, and so on...
I struggle with this in almost every area of my life: my professional career, work at home, spare-time hacking, even romance. The only way I can really get stuff done is to take it in chunks. The thought of cleaning the entire house may be daunting, but certainly the thought of loading the dishwasher isn't so bad. And after I'm done with that, mopping the kitchen floor isn't that big of a task, and so on....
At the end of last year the USB Implementation Forum met _ Microsoft is on the board of directors while the chairman/president is Jason Ziller of Intel _ and decided that the matter was perhaps too clear, too transparent to the customer.
And I have 5 friends who have been waiting eagerly for this release, and I know hundreds more "internet" friends just as eager. So there's your counter-testimony. In the Linux community, Ximian is quite popular. Some of our staff at work are looking into switching from having two workstations (Sunblade and NT) to just one running XD2. I don't think we're alone.
Setup a simple linux router or buy an appliance like the ones NetGear and Linksys sell. I bought a Linksys wireless router just the other day. You plug your DSL modem into the WAN port on the back of the router and hook up your other computers either directly with cables or with wireless cards. The router is easily configurable from any machine on your network using a web browser and you can set it up to use PPPoE. I have SBC/Yahoo DSL and this setup works great. The router itself authenticates using PPPoE and the computers behind the router don't require any special software or any such nonsense. It's a very flexible solution. I have a mix of static local ip addresses and dynamic ip's assigned via the dhcp server on the router. I have a mix of wireless and wired connections. So basically to add a new machine to my home network I just install a wireless card or use conventional network cables and bam! I'm on the network.
Yes, I'm very familiar with GNOME, and that statement on the gnome.org website. I was asking you what the hell you meant. The phrase "bloated CORBA graphics framework" has absolutely nothing to do with what GNOME is.
Amen. I (as a user) and most of the people who find their way into my life want an interface that works and works well without tweaking, and when something needs to be changed it's bloody easy to find the setting. I don't like hacking my environment--I want it to work well out of the box so I can spend my time doing real work.

Since they started publishing Linux stories, which has pretty much been since the beginning.
...You mean legs?
Actually, there was a FA to R. You just had to STFW. Google for "gaim" and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.
Actually, I know dozens of people who absolutely love XP.
I don't think they exist.

Source code will be released the same week of June 9. It's mentioned in their faq.

What are you talking about? Bloated CORBA graphics framework?
