So, where do we really stand? I'll say, whether you want to try KDE 4.2 or not, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that if you are an openSUSE user, this is a 'must' upgrade. And if you aren't an openSUSE user, well, it's certainly worth a try-at least for the sake of being able to quickly get started with KDE 4.2 without waiting for your distro to release its next version after a few months with the updated desktop.

By the way, the news is that the next version of openSUSE will give v4.2 a skip, and straight away bring forth v4.3, which probably will make it the first distro to offer the new desktop version out-of-the-box this summer. Nice to see at least one major distro trying to follow the KDE release schedule instead of GNOME's, for a change.
