But we have KDE to keep the vendors happy. If that's not enough, throw 
in Superkaramba or something along those lines and use an Open GL 
screen saver as a desktop background. ;)

As an aside, I just noticed that the store in Sweden where I bought my 
Asus laptop (with MS Windows bolted on) two years ago is now carrying 
barebone laptops--you choose processor, RAM and hard drive--MS Windows 
and assembly optional. That's certainly something I haven't seen 
before, and something I hope will spread.
