It seems that there aren't many new or wild ideas anymore. Perhaps this is a sign that Linux has become "somewhat mature"? But, on the proprietary front, there doesn't seem to be much new, either. And our hardware needs are pretty well taken care of, which often determines software needs. Ultimately, it all relates to the human body and the number of senses we have, doesn't it? We can see, we can hear, we have written language. These things are pretty well taken care of nowadays, unlike a decade ago. A few years ago, there were the browser wars, a push to get graphic images, video and multimedia online, battles between realplayer and macromedia and countless other forgotten technologies, vrml 3d stuff that never took off, streaming was new, torrents hadn't been invented, scanners, webcams and printers needed to be supported with not just drivers, but user software, adsl became the norm, etc. Maybe it's just that everything pretty well works now??? Even the KDE paradigm shift is really just a background and a task bar on the monitor, like we've had for decades. Sometimes I long for something breathtakingly novel, but perhaps this just simply works. I am waiting with bated breath to hear other views... _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
