I must also say that other OSes such as Mac OSX and Ubuntu have not been relaxing either. Mac OSX Snow Leopard and Ubuntu Karmic are impressive too. @michael: I am not a regular Windows user, but I must also agree that Win 7 is more polished than all its previous release.

At home I have Windows 7 dressed up to look like Mac OSX, plus Debian 5.0 dressed up to look like an Alienware version of windows with KDE 3.5. At work I have Open Suse 11 on KDE4.3 I also use Linux Mint with Gnome(No dress-up. Sorry guys, but this looks nothing like Windows 7. I love Linux and use both Gnome and KDE on a regular basis, but I have to say (7) is a major improvement for MS. 4 months constant "on state" running and not a crash in sight or a problem with virus and trojons. This one looks very solid. Hmm! At home I have Windows 7 dressed up to look like Mac OSX, plus Debian 5.0 dressed up to look like an Alienware version of windows with KDE 3.5.

Thankfully applying W7 themes to KDE 4.3 will not limit the DE to the functionality in the W7 DE. W7 DE is way behind OSX and KDE 4.2.4 +. KDE 4.3 makes some significant progress compared to 4.2.4 too, which puts W7 further behind. 3-5 years I should say. Agreed.

KDE 4.1 was very buggy. But I love KDE 4.2 (Jaunty) now. Wow. Gnome feels klunky and unpolished to me, now. I never use anything other than Kubuntu Jaunty, anymore (even though I have XP, Vista, Debian, PuppyLinux, Ubuntu, and Xubuntu, LinuxMCE, and Mythbuntu installed on various partitions in my network). Some people like KDE on other distributions (openSuse, for example), but I like the Ubuntu standardisation of repositories and packages. But I don't like any other desktop as much as KDE. Definitely not Windows 7. I would have agreed with you early last year. KDE 4.1 was very buggy.
