I agree with you on this not being the right answer. Personally, I've used Windows (95-7), GNOME shell and KDE extensively and I think KDE and Windows 7 have the best implementations so far. By pressing the windows key on windows and typing what I want i have it. With some effort, the same on KDE. I like the ability in GNOME shell to switch windows so much faster but I dislike the structure of the shortcuts when you do a search. The only way to move is horizontally -_- Also, wtf is up with Slashdot's formatting? It just removes newlines because it can?

$10k for 40TB? I can build 135TB for less than $8k.
