>"It is somewhat amusing that not only do we have two major Linux desktops projects out there, but that the most widespread killer apps out there (OpenOffice and Mozilla) belong to neither"

Both applications were already available before KDE and Gnome were founded. No wonder they don't 'belong' to either desktop.

Mozilla was a complete rewrite from the old Netscape-- the released Netscape 5.0 source was not even used for it. The Modern Mozilla thus was born in 1998. KDE was founded in 1996 and GNOME in 1997 in comparison.

You're right about StarOffice though-- it's been around for a very long time. Before StarOffice, StarWriter was a standalone program for DOS. I beleive it started in 1989. A full fourteen years of development. Of course, it probably has had rewrites from then on :)
