Well its not a really good OS, but it is a real OS. KDE4, on the other  
hand IS just a thing you click in as it just runs on top of Linux a la  
Windows 3.1. Unfortunately, I just can't click in it right now because  
my mouse is invisible.

Amarok crashes on me twice a day. Kmail 3.5.10 crashes thrice daily.  
3.9.9 never crashed that I recall.

And I am running Linux on 6 desktops, so it isn't an issue with a  
particular setup.

Obviously I prefer kubuntu over do, but the windows version of choice  
in business (XP) is currently more stable than kde4.

Will v. 4 be the vista of KDE?

I really hope not.
