KDE 4 (version 4.0) released

Here is good news for one and all. KDE 4.0 has been released. This significant release marks both the end of the long and intensive development cycle leading up to KDE 4.0 and the beginning of the KDE 4 era.

Check out the visual guide of KDE 4.0 to get an idea of the depth at which changes have been wrought when compared with KDE 3.x. To put it simply, the visuals are stunning.

And if you are raring to take KDE 4.0 on a spin, download the Kubuntu LiveCD featuring KDE 4.0. Or if you are running Ubuntu, you can also download just the KDE 4.0 specific packages and install it along GNOME or even KDE 3.x. Or you could also download an OpenSuSE liveCD which contain just the KDE 4.0 specific packages. The choice is yours.

I am so excited about this new KDE release which will surely herald a new movement on the Desktop - err... I mean the portable desktop.
