Strange... When 4.3 was released you couldn't keep with the comments...
Anyway I used KDE4.4 for some time now, from RC1-3 and now "unofficial" 4.4.0.
I must say it's the best KDe release ever and, the best desktop environment.
Keep up the good work!

And all users, don't forget that you can help KDE by brainstorming, posting bugs etc...

Congratulations for the best KDE release that ever happened so far!

I have to admit that I have been pretty uncomfortable with the 4.x series so far, but 4.4 finally changed that! (I have been using it since beta1)

It is totally awesome and even the betas were rock stable on my computer!

And at the same time, I just can't wait to see what Qt 4.7, QML and KDE SC 4.5 will bring around in the summer... oh my, it will be a long time to wait and watch.

I guess I will count time again in terms of KDE releases

And on the sidenote: the new KDE website is wonderful too!

Bring the fireworks folks, we have to celebrate.

I'm using KDE SC 4.4 since it's second beta and it has improved itself a lot. Thank you guys.

thanks

We're still waiting for SC 4.4 in openSUSE 11.2, but I'm sure it won't be long and it will be a great release indeed!

Thank you KDE developers

I'm already in 4.4 Our repos were updated not long after I posted that. Thank you again, developers! This is for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMU0tzLwhbE (DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS).

Off-topic: Arch kinda rulz yeah, until a kernel or driver update breaks everything.

What fun! This release is great and I can't thank the KDE developers enough. Hard to believe that we are lucky enough to have such power and elegance for free. Will send another donation in a bit.

Cool, works nice on archie here. Only thing broken is kmess2 notifications.

Nice work!

KDE 4.4 is the best release yet! I'm starting to get the same magic feeling I had when i first tried KDE 3.5.

Keep the great releases coming!

I'd also like to highlight one feature that wasn't advertised, but that really blew my mind. The bug tracking tool allowed me to submit a bug, but then found duplicates and in the duplicate report a workaround that fixed my problem. No bug report needed and i'm off on my merry way
