Curious where KDE is headed? KDE programmer Stephan Binner has posted a cool
sneak preview screencast of "Kickoff", the brand new start menu that will be debuting in openSUSE 10.2. The redesigned menu looks pretty slick, incorporating a search box at the top and tabs at the bottom for flipping between your favorite programs, recent programs and documents, my computer and all programs (which have a hierarchical interface reminiscent of Apple's iPod and file dialogs). It looks like a pleasure to use, which is exactly what the Linux desktop needs.

Looks nice though I have never been a fan of KDE .. mostly because of the apps they have. Gnome has far better apps though KDE is far ahead in terms of UI and usability.

Remember, you don't have to use GNOME or KDE to use their apps. All GNOME apps work under KDE, and all KDE apps work under GNOME. As long as you have the libraries for GNOME or KDE present. You can even use both KDE- and GNOME- apps under FVWM or ICeWM if you want.

Are there sources of kickoff available already for download?
