Most of us are very touchy and meticulous about how our desktops look like. Why don't we start posting in a screen shot of our desktops here? Here is mine for the starters. It's my windows XP SP2 with a mac theme.

pointyblue Hi Swaroop, How long ago did you try out Ubuntu? The new 7.10 version is simply awesome - and very user friendly, even to newbies, which has always been linux's biggest problem. What exactly is it you miss in Ubuntu?

spiderman05 I prefer KDE over gnome too. I tried Gnome back in 2001 and it was OK, maybe still comparable to KDE at that time. Since then, KDE has improved a great deal. KDE4 is around the corner now and it is going to be much faster than the older versions as it is based...
