ZDNet: KDE 2.2.1 rivals Windows

[W. Wayne Liauh]

For home use, I believe it is actually preferable to use KDE (2.2 and 
above) over Windows.  However, the lack of business applications (mainly 
office suite, accounting software and vector drawing programs) remains 
the main obstacle preventing Linux from being considered a viable 
desktop alternative.

I know quite a few members at LUAU think very highly of 
StarOffice/OpenOffice; however, at least for law office applications, my 
own experience is, SO is still quite a  long way from being in the same 
league as MS Office and WordPerfect.  With regard to accounting 
software, I heard Gnucash is quite good, but, just like every other 
Linux project, it is starving from lack of financial support.
