That has always been a goal with KDE anyway. We can't have OS X and |

Vista/Windows 7 win those beauty contests, now can we ;) |

Anyway, 4.2.0 is what sealed the deal for me. I went back to KDE 3 |
| 22 |
after trying KDE 4.0. I went again back to 3 after trying the first 4.1 |
| 23 |
version. And again after the latest 4.1 update (4.1.4). With 4.2.0, it |
| 24 |
seems it is a worthy replacement for KDE 3 for me. I didn't login to |
| 25 |
KDE 3 since I installed it (2 days ago). I like it, but I hope no |
| 26 |
show-stopper shows up :P |
