Hi, We at the French Space Agency use KDE 4 for operations (satellites and rocket control), and Windows for office work. At CERN and other particle accelerators I know in Berlin, they use KDE 4 and 3 for operation, variable for office work. So they/we don't really need to switch our OS... Cheers, Olivier > Alex
