Hopefully they've got thicker skin than that, I made an observation based on my experience. I felt then and now that the default KDE desktop looked and felt like a GNOME knock-off. It has also been my experience that most do assume that you have GNOME installed. I'll happily try KDE again when F9 hits final release, I hope to be proven wrong, I don't expect it will all work flawlessly, it is as many have said a major revision, but KDE needs its own personality, I didn't feel that KDE distinguished itself from GNOME very well when i first tried it on Fedora 7. If i'm in the minority with that opinion, so be it. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into Fedora, hopefully nobody takes my comments to personally. No one is obliged to prove anything to anyone. I still think Fedora blows the doors off all the other Linux distributions, I've tried most of them.
