With 4.2, the KDE desktop has seen a number of improvements, including upgrading the taskbar to include multiple rows, and the taskbar can now auto hide.

What struck us about the new KDE desktop environment is its remarkable similarity to the Windows 7 beta taskbar. Convergent evolution?

As you can see RC1 is still not bug-free, we presume this grey box is meant to be a preview window. Interestingly, we saw a similar bug when looking at the Windows 7 beta.
