Story: KDE to include Google-type desktop search

Concerning Paul Salazaar's comment on research investments, the last time I checked, Redhat was composed of oss. Redhat is not burdened with creating and improving the whole OS and everything on it. They have the advantage of using improvements made throughout the community, which means the world is working on Linux, not just Redhat. They have made significant contributions, though.

I don't understand comments that say Linux won't be able to rival Windows on the desktop. I have used Windows as long as it has existed, and it is my opinion that the Linux desktop with KDE easily surpasses the Windows desktop. Both at home and at work, my Linux systems have a huge advantage in security, usability, and connectivity. There is simply no way Windows can compete. The only advantage Windows has is specific applications not found on any other platform.

That will change, though. It's just amazing to think that in the last 8 years that I have been using Linux, my company has gone from mostly Windows and Novell servers to almost entirely Linux servers. And that is mostly due to vendors porting their proprietary apps to Linux and not supporting other OS's.
