Re: Mandriva 2009 One KDE 4 - a good one (NOT!)

As a long-time Mandriva + KDE user who quickly upgrades to each new Mandriva release, I was highly disappointed with 2009.0, principally because of KDE4. Basically, KDE4 is still alpha level software -- missing functionality (no dual-head support for us laptop users, etc, etc), and frequently hangs for several seconds, and various desktop widgets crash just as often. It's not that I don't want to learn a new UI -- I finally got so disgusted with KDE4 that I did what many people had been urging me to do: I switched to xfce. It is soooo much faster and stable. Goodbye KDE.
