Personally I think that KDE is far better than Windows.  Of course I also 
think LaTeX is the best way to prepare documents, and ability of "plan" to 
let me hand-edit the PostScript configuration file is quite handy, so I 
suppose I might not represent Joe Average User.

(I dropped Linux in favor of FreeBSD becuase it was getting too user friendly 
. . . meaning it was too hard to find the configuration files to edit.)
