Why do big corporations like Sun support GNOME instead of KDE ? .
I believe KDE is the best choice for the many new Linux users we are getting. Coherent and up tp or better than THAT GUY*S old revamped software.
All the same, in case the organisation stumbles for any reason, it's advantageous to have a mature alternative ready. Just like Soyuz replaces the Spaceshuttle.
Someone major has to support it for base and confidence building but exactly why SUN does, I know not, but I'm glad they do. I use KDE or icewm.
