KDE 4.1++

So I've been playing with KDE 4.1 and 4.2 (Dev) and all I've got to say is HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT...
Needless to say it is very very very pretty.
But more than that, there are hundreds of little improvements that make using it so much easier than not only other versions of KDE (Including 3.5.9) and lame-ass slow memory wasting ugly Gnome/GTK WMs but also other operating systems (*cough* M$ Windows *cough cough*), there are so many little UI improvements and type hints, sub-highlighting, automatic application shema colour changes every time you change your colour scheme (Mostly works without having to do anything, sometimes you have to restart an application to make it work).
I guess I'll be spending a lot more time in Linux, I've nearly run out of reasons to run Windows at all, with the exception of a gaming platform and a virus/trojan/backdoor/spyware haven, it's pretty much the most useless piece of shit on the planet (Not gonna dog on Mac's, they're pretty and their "Wizards" actually help an end-user (Like the Internet/Network Agent) and actually work).
I certainly hope that some people pick up some of the things that KDE is gearing towards, I think there is a massive room for improvement in many OSs and UIs out there, so wake up other people, KDE is making a positive movement for Linux, and the desktop is almost ready for good old fashioned Windows chicken shits (Being that there are some people that believe that if Microsoft compiles something instead of you it makes it more stable...).
Now just because I play around with some of the more advanced things and screw with shit that I'm not supposed to and also run things that aren't "Stable" and I also play with features probably never gonna be used by most people (Desktop Cube for example) doesn't mean that the rest of the platform sucks or anything like that, as a matter of fact, without enabling the deskop effects at all, the platform is FANTASTIC, so before you feel like running back from Linux or KDE for that matter, keep in mind, you don't need to enable all the doodads to experience the best UI for any operating system there is, go out and give it a try, at least as far as KDE 4.1 it's stable enough for a lot of people to play with (AND IS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN KDE 4.0.5), so go and have some fun for a little while.
