Hi there,

please, do not top post, it makes the thread difficult to read.

Well, I can't comment on that one, as I don't use Samba at all.

I am not sure that a transfer works smoother from Windows (XP, Vista?)
to KDE 3.5.9 than directly to KDE 4.2.2. Keep in mind that they will
have to adapt to a different interface again when you will transfer
them to KDE 4...
But then, the Windows user had already to cope with radical changes
from 2000 to XP, then to Vista, as well as having to cope with
MSOffice not beeing compatible backwards and earlier versions not
being able to read their so called standard" OOXML, a thing which
OpenOffice.org does very well BTW. I'm not sure the path is really
steeper when changing to KDE 4.2.2.


Regards, Myriam.
