Eh, I tried Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 Remix and I really didn't like it at all.  
To me KDE4 seemed like a downgrade for KDE rather than an improvement, 
and its Vista-ish Sidebar just rubbed me the wrong way.  I really HATE 
how Micro$oft put their gadgets on a Sidebar rather than just using 
something like the Mac Dashboard.  I mean its not like they didn't copy 
everything else in Vista from Mac OS X.

Anyway, it just wasn't the same and seemed really lacking compared to 
the version in Kubuntu 8.04 LTS.
