I have used KDE since it was alpha-code, been on the KDE-mailinglists,
lately I'm using Gnome quite a lot, and one thing is really clear to me:

Without KDE ... Gnome would not be where it is now (!)

About press in general, I don't trust them at all, but they can learn,
for example, a few days ago a dutch newspaper published (more or less) the
following on their website :

"The company Linux finally got their own website, www.linux.com, back"

I did send them a response by email, and they quickly replied that they 
had  removed the article immediately.

Press can learn, people can learn.

In most countries selling harmful things like drugs is punishable.
Then how come people can sell Microsoft software and go unpunished?
