Nothing in the screen shots makes me anxious to try KDE 4.8. I've pretty much left Linux because I live in the browser and Flash and video performance wasn't up to par in Unity and Gnome. Aesthetics matter. The Linxu community seems to have a hard time understanding or accepting this. KDE 4.8 still looks like it is stuck in the last decade. There isn't much to convince me to take the time to give Linux another go. Maybe a video would be better.
