KDE 4 out, and my, it looks gorgeous!

I was talking about dolphin, the one tested in the review.
Krusader looks very good, i just gave it a go, and i might get used to it.
I prefer a dual-pane file explorer, opposed to a norton commander file explorer, though. Still, on my computer (which has gnome and not kde), krusader's keyboard navigation failed way too many times for my tastes (sometimes the arrows or the enter key wouldn't change the selection or open the selected folders, and similar things).
Lashiec:
OK, I suppose it can go here :)
Surprise, surprise, guess who snagged Trolltech? HINT: It's not a company from Norway.
f0dder:
But it's geographically pretty close, Finland.

Gothi[c] is right — you can customize both KDE and Gnome until your fingers bleed. What I really love about them is that you can keep an old UI if you like it. Used to XP and want to stick with it across versions? No problem! Want it to look like Vista? No problem, just start tweaking. The problem most users would run into with these two desktop environments is that you can absolutely change every single little part of the interface and it can be exhausting. So most folks look for themes, similar to how Opera allows you to change its look on the fly.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but KDE 4 for Windows is available in beta form here: http://windows.kde.org/
Currently it doesn't replace Explorer as the Windows GUI but presumably when the project reaches a stable release version it will do.
There are a few articles about it on ZDNET - here is one that I read which shows a little how the beta version works:
