We can't have OS X and Vista/Windows 7 win those beauty contests, now can we ;) Anyway, 4.2.0 is what sealed the deal for me. I went back to KDE 3 after trying KDE 4.0. I went again back to 3 after trying the first 4.1 version. And again after the latest 4.1 update (4.1.4). With 4.2.0, it seems it is a worthy replacement for KDE 3 for me. I didn't login to KDE 3 since I installed it (2 days ago). I like it, but I hope no show-stopper shows up :P
