KDE features
by Benjamin Atkin on Tuesday 17/Jul/2001, @14:48

I'm sure many people with modem connections will like the new kwm behavior where windows are placed on the desktop where it was launched. Now someone can switch to a new desktop, start conqueror, and switch back to the window they were working in. Then in a few seconds their window should be ready with their homepage. I'll just like the fact that it's the behavior that I expect, since I have a fast computer and a fast network connection :-)

I know this is just a minor improvement, but there are ones all over that will greatly improve KDE. There are all kinds of reasons why KDE is my favorite interface.

As for major improvements, Kooka and KDEPrint are most exciting to me. I hope those working on the KOffice project get WYSIWYG improved soon. Scanning and printing are particularly important to the desktop user, and I look forward to being able to do digital photography easily with KDE.

It is amazing how much progress has been made with KDE. There are so many ease of use, performance, and stability reasons to use it over Windows or Mac OS X, not to mention the sharing of software makes for a better society.

Thanks, KDE developers!!!

The only problem is that I've gotten so used to the old way, that i forget I've started programs, because they don't appear on-screen :).
