KDE Project Ships New Major Release Of Leading Open Source Desktop Environment
Stephan Kulow, KDE Release Coordinator, said: "The desktop reached a quality hard to top in previous releases. Nevertheless, KDE 3.3 is a great improvement and will further strengthen KDE's position as the leading Free desktop environment."
Building upon previous releases, version 3.3 provides an integrated desktop and a comprehensive set of applications that make KDE the most usable and feature-rich environment of its kind. Responding to the needs of their users, KDE developers have implemented an impressive range of new features, as well as several new applications that make your desktop even more productive and pleasing to use. Of note in this release are the many integration efforts, linking applications across the desktop together to save you unecessary time and effort. Stephan Kulow added that "improvements in terms of usability, stability and integration are particularly noticeable in the KDE PIM (Personal Information Management) suite."
