I figured I'd uninstall openoffice, then try out KDE. I really like the 
new look for this version.
  Previously, I thought that KDE looked too XP'ish and before the XP 
style copying, it looked too cartoonish.
The new look seems easier to navigate and has a lot more clarity.

I've been a GNOME user for the most part. This new version of KDE might 
be worth switchig from the dwindling Gnome powers. (metacity, instead of 
something better. Menu editing problems, etc)


I like the new KDE so far.
