Interfact? Is that some new great MS invention?

Yes, MS can't come up with a decent GUI for Windoze so they have formulated a new word that's almost the same as interface for the almost-GUI of Windows.

Windows is plain ugly. Horrid 16 color 32x32 icons and nasty fonts. The window furniture (buttons, radio icons, etc) are crap. I could design better ones using Paintbrush. And where's the consistency between applications?

BTW, if KDE "sucks", why are you visiting its web site. If you are Bill Gates shouldn't you be visiting Microsoft's website and brown-nosing Gates instead? KDE may be a little buggy (my current installation doesn't even load the desktop (lots of segfaults) - that's what comes from using CVSUP) but it's free and you can't complain. Perhaps you could try writing a non-sucks desktop environment so we can all benefit and stop using all this rubbish that sucks like KDE.

KDE rocks. Keep up the good work guys. It's the best set of programs I've ever used.

Ha ha. You just got to go to control panel and select 'use full color icons'.

And while you're at it, you might want to put font smoothing on too.

Not gonna see KDE getting that any time now are we?

I don't see Windows having infinite numbers of panels floating around, do you?
I don't see Windows have tear-off menus (OK this is a GTK+ thing), do you?
I don't see powerful themes like window decorations or pixmap backgrounds in Windows, do you?
I don't see network-transparency in Windows IO system, do you?
I don't see any stability in Windows, do you?

Font smoothing? In Windoze 95/98/2000/NT? Yeh, right. Full color icons? Yeh right (again). Obviously you must have a super-duper version of Windows that doesn't actually "suck". We could all wait till Whistler comes out in 2198 and then we could all have these marvellous features.

Fonts and colors are all very nice but they aren't as important as the underlying OS architecture. Windows is still based on DOS. KDE has some great stuff behind it like kparts and so on. And it's free.

(BTW, it's "anonymous", not "anonymus". Bill Gates may spell it with only one "o" but the rest of us just standard English spelling).
