With the a more kde-centric distri like mandriva KDE3 looks and works great out of the box - at least for me. And the big plus of KDE is the easy to change look and behavior of the desktop. So to say it looks "childish" or "to big" make me laugh. @John: Works here great, actually I’m posting from inside the kde4daily-image.

KDE4 is visually impressive, and conceptually innovative. When it matures, I think it will be excellent. @Ross

The virtual box “image” is a disk image from VMWare, in fact.

Nice idea but it “just” doesn’t “work”

KDE 4 looks SO much better. It's like a professional looking environment now. As for the apps, the Office stuff looks promising, and so does Kontact. ALOT of bugs in Kontact right now, but it is bleeding edge, so I'm sure they'll have all that fixed before the final release.

My main gripe with KDE is that (out of the box) it looks like it was designed by people with serious visual impairments. I mean, seriously...everything is HUGE. I really hope that they tone that down a little in the future. Every time I try it I feel like I have some kind of accessibility zoom option turned on by default. I may give KDE a try again.
