KDE 4.0.0!

[Girard Henri]

I guess you need time to jump ??? lol
I am using kde4 for two months now... True there is a lot of nuisances
But the final on kubuntu hardy 64 bist is quiete usable :)
I am sure in a couple of years kde4 will have pass over kde3 :)
Thanks kde4 teams ... I stoped vista which is really a rubbish compare 
to kde4
even with coreduo and 2 Gb RAM :)
