Duh... Anything is in the bag.

KDE 4.0 for Windows

, , ,

Since KDE 4.0 is released, the Windows port is currently underway along with the Mac OS X version. When I read the review that it is more efficient and more solid, I was overjoyed. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Windows version.

But sadly, KDE for Windows is the most bloated alternative desktop in the world. Why? Based on current snapshot, it's whooping 600MB in size! At first, I thought it would be nice to use a better and more efficient desktop, but KDE is absolutely not one of them. I wouldn't put it on my list any more. And I bet the documentation is a so-so, like it was in all of its previous versions.

Bottomline, KDE is less efficient than the original Windows desktop. If you have high-end PC with lots of RAM and harddisk space and wouldn't care to sacrifice a little speed for the sake of bells and whistles, then go for it. Though I think most people would end up uninstalling it and go back to the original Windows desktop in the end.

Kestrel build 9716

, ,

Just tried the latest build of Kestrel, since build 9523. There are many improvements and a lot more stable. It seems still undergone a heavy development and a long way to go, so the next official beta or full release will likely to change significantly. Though either way, it's good for "leisure-browsing". The Kestrel sure is a great update. I can't wait 'till it's finished. :smile:

My First Blog

Even though I use internet since long ago, this is my first blog entry in my entire life. Don't know what to put here. Don't have any plan at all. Maybe I'll just put anything here as a mixed bag. Let all of the web search engines to find me rather than promoting my blog existence.

Well... th, th, that's all folks. For now...
