I wonder if there is a way to accurately gauge hours spent using one
DE or another. I've only ever used Gnome although I tried KDE briefly
(at least one major release ago) and tried other distros Suse and
Ubuntu, but only when Fedora was unstable on my hardware. I blogged a
few 'gotchas' with

Not even Microsoft is staying with the 95 UI.
