"The latest version of my favorite desktop, KDE SC 4.4,
is due to be released in just a couple of weeks. Even though
it’s still in beta, I just couldn’t keep my hands off
of it, being the desktop geek that I am. Let’s take a quick
look at how KDE 4.4 is shaping up during the last leg of its
development phase.
"As usual, I decided to install KDE 4.4 on my spare review
machine. Unfortunately, that’s not the way it worked out. I
vowed that I would not install beta software on my production
machine anymore, but I couldn’t keep my hands off of KDE 4.4
and installed it on my main computer anyway. Did it turn out to be
a disaster? You bet! That’s how testing beta software goes,
and I eventually got everything working and decided to continue to
play around with KDE 4.4. Besides, there’s probably no
turning back now anyway"
