Please note this is a slide show presentation, so click on the desktop icon to view. It seems more reviews are going the slide show routine.

It should be called "Six Clicks: The Major Desktop Environments" since it's just a list of the most popular and major DE's, and there isn't any type of comparative analysis to judge these as the "best."

Hi,

As I said in the OP, this is a slide show and the commenter choices of the best. Just a means to present video representations by the poster. No real direct comparison.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

It's zdnet, did you really expect anything else?

He didn't even include xfce in his 6 choices of "the most important of these PC interfaces."
