   I totally agree with you, it's far from ready, if you compare the stage KDE3.2   
   was in, KDE4.2 still feels like an early alpha in comparison.

   You still have the same lack of configuration in KDE4 as in Vista, so they   
   have something more in common.

   I would say it was 100% lossing, I didn't have much at all to be happy about,   
   no contacts, kopete was empty and MSN is broken there too, had to do manual   
   imports of kwallet and then in the end application didn't understand that they   
   where supposed to read from the extra wallets and not just the default one.

   I think I saw some BT related packages to be installed when I emerged kde4,   
   replacing the default ones for KDE3.
