Tried that with qemu. Really nice way to sneak peak whats coming up. Overall it looked nice. Couple of annoyances still.
1. There seem to be too much space everywhere, gui should be tighter.
2. The K-menu system reminds me of Windows vista in a bad way. Hopefully it will be somehow improved when 4.0 actually comes out.

Thank for mentioning the dead space everywhere. I really hope this gets tightened up.
Kickoff isn't going to be redesigned, but there is some talk about reinventing the traditional KMenu as an option as well, and I sure hope that makes the cut for 4.1

Congrats to the Debian KDE Team, I tried it and in general it looks sweet, however the default font settings could be better, for example, instead to use a bitmap font use DejaVu or Liberation.
Also I liked a lot Gwenview, it is easy and fast, and the zoom widget for the previews at the bottom is cool. Okular it is amazing also.
Systemsettings it is way better organized than what KControl was, although some modules have bigger screen size than the default systemsettings size and create ugly scroll bars.
In general I liked Kickoff, but I would prefer to click to change the tab view and not on mouse hover.
Oxygen style and windeco are great but I think that the windeco if it ¡s not using a composite manager with drop shadows it should have better window border contrast, because it is too thin and sometimes it create some confusion.
In general this beta has a very good feelings, and I think that some people who think to not use KDE4 before 4.1 should be surprised with 4.0.

> The Debian KDE Team now provides a KDE4 Live-CD.
But the Debian KDE Team couldn't spend the 30sec it would have taken to mention username and password somewhere on the login screen? Great Job!
Thankfully you're automatically logged in on the console.
Resolution and refresh rate are completely fscked up, changing the resolution zooms in on the middle of the desktop and moving the mouse to the edges of the screen to pan doesn't work so there's no apparent way to access panel or plasma toolbox.
Dolphin crashes when you hover over a character device (don't know if it does it only if the info pane is on...), the oxygen style is slower than anything I've ever seen and for some reason the Alt key works in KDE but not in X11 shortkeys.

The openSUSE Live-CD is better: auto-login, default to Oxygen style and win-deco, has more applications (Debian misses even stuff like KMail, KGet, any multimedia apps).
