[dundee] Latest Linux Desktop Poll

[gordon dunlop]

FOSS Force conducted a Linux desktop poll recently (approx 500
respondents). The most popular, by a surprising margin, was KDE with 70%.
This was probably due to people not being enamoured by Gnome 3.

Interestingly the movie "Gravity", which recently won 6 BAFTA's, used KDE
for producing its special effects.

Even Doctor Who uses KDE and Fedora (spot the logo bottom left of screen).

So things are looking up for KDE, considering the amount of criticism aimed
at it when KDE 4 was released in 2008.
