When you are presented with choices such as kde/kde2 and not everything works, you need to be able to get it done using the other version. I have more than enough disk but it is my time that is the short side of things. If something doesn't work on kde2, you need to be able to switch to kde and get it done. It should also be a easy and quick thing. I don't imagine this would happen very often but I could imagine logging in and switching at that point. I also can't imagine that all of my user account would be running on the same version of kde. Somethings just don't work with Qt-2. I have wanted to be able to use kword for some time. I have a lot of documents in MS Word and I hate booting to Win 2K on the system I want to test kde2 on just to use them. I have a copy of WordPerfect 8 for linux on a CD and can use it but there are differences. I would hope Kword has fewer warts by comparison.
