I disagree. We have to market to people who don't know much- the vast
majority of current users do know GNOME and KDE, but those people have
already made their choices, usually years ago. As we've seen in the
magazine discussion, KDE is viewed as the 'default' by a lot of people
who don't know better; we have to reach out to people (media, IT
people considering deployments, etc.) and associate ourselves firmly
as The Desktop for linux.
