It seemed to focus too much on a humorous style at the expense of worthwhile knowledge sharing. A straightforward article on the strengths/weaknesses would have been better and probably shorter. There is plenty to pick apart but, for example, what diff does the office app make? KDE may have a special office app but gnome doesn't (open office isn't exclusive to gnome although I can't speak to how well it integrates into the KDE desktop look) so how does gnome score that point? In the end, people use what they like and know regardless of how good or bad it is - look at all the windows users for example. </div></div> -- Jim (Ubuntu geek extraordinaire) ---- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
