Originally posted by asdfblah View PostI've always had concerns with respect to my privacy, though... KDE itself is buggy and not very privacy-aware, I think, which means that anyone could have exploited any program and have access to my personal data easily. Call me crazy, but... I didn't see the nepomuk database as a good thing. The KDE devs should be aware of this (for example: what if I share my computer with other people, and I don't want to create another account for them?

Bloatware was a symptom of overzealous capitalism and ignorance, and not result of an one particular DE over another. Had linux been the dominant OS, companies like HP and Lexmark would still have included 2 gigs of linux-shitware with their consumer printers rather than extending cups/sane with the same functionality.

Exchange/OutlookMSOffice has cost me $20,000 due to a broken PST file, a broken OST file, and an account desyncronization issue with Lync.
Kmail/PIM/KOffice has cost me about $50,000 due to datastore corruption which resulted the loss of my contacts and several months worth of correspondence, even after rolling tape to recover what I could.
After evaluating the Ubuntu+thunderbird+libreoffice, and determining that it did not meet my needs, I was forced to settle on Apple's Groupware+MSOffice for Mac. This isn't because I wanted to spend a bunch of money on fancy looking kit and an office suite, this is because I needed to get some work done, and cannot be encumbered by groupware, file management, and integration issues. It's too costly.

A number of us have the 'job' thingies where we need to communicate with team members on a regular basis in a serious and professional manner. Functional groupware is a requirement. Any time we experience difficulty (ie; our PST file exceeds 2GB and we have to repair it and lose a bunch of correspondence), we lose a day worth of the work we are paid to do. To help put this in perspective, let me quickly quantify:

Considering we're talking about a guy who "fixed" data corruption by migrating to HFS+, he almost certainly just lost some index files and was incapabke recreating them?
