From our front-page news:
The next major KDE update is due in early December, and early looks are all over the place. This one in particular takes a look at many various aspects of the updated desktop environment, and I have to say, things are looking good. In fact, things are turning out a lot better than I had personally expected. I'm not one who loves "OS bling", but KDE seems to be doing a good job of mastering a clean design and great usability. There are some areas that still need polish, but it doesn't look like anything should effect the December 11th launch.

The bottom shows the new panel, the new menu button and one type of the new clock. Plasma at work. The menu is a KDE 4 port of OpenSuse's new KDE menu and therefore comes with several tabs: Favorites, Applications, My Computer, Recently Used and Leave. While I'm not if I will grow used to this it definitely can help new users. It also supports search for application names or search for meta names (like "Browser").
