MY  WORD!! I did not get any of  January's mail list. I did not know there
was any until I got today's, Feb 18, 2010.

  Anyway, tested install the other night as we were on IRC. I am still
testing via the Dell. Still can't stand having nepomuk and the strigi
running as it takes way too long for desktop to load. On a better machine,
that might not be such an issue. There is some nice additions to the K4.4,
but some are just annoying like Windows, where you have "nag screens" that
were never there in the history of KDE. For example, when you clear
clipboard history you now get one of those nice "are you sure...?" prompts.
Fortunately they were nice enough to have a check to never show that again.
:) I did notice some other nag screens too.

  Desktop does seem to load a slight bit faster than it used to (after
killing off nepomuk and strigi of course), but seems to hesitate longer when
logging out.
   Seems to be some more functionality in the control center for some of the
settings, but I have yet to find custom keyboard settings that doesn't
require importing. For example if I want to use the Internet key on my
keyboard to launch the web browser... where the heck is that setting?
   I did notice that on occasion windows will drop slightly off screen, not
a big deal but wasn't that way in 4.3.
   I did not find any show stoppers that should prevent this from going to
public testing, or on another ISO.
