I'm generally in favour of giving people choices but it isn't just a choice 
between window managers it's a whole different set of default applications. 
We'd either end up going 'this one is brown and this one is blue' or you get 
into choosing e-mail client, instant messanger app, irc client, music player, 
video player, web browser, cd burner. That's just off the top of my head, I 
haven't started on system administration tools and the like. Most people want 
a computer that Just Works (TM). We're looking at people who still think the 
desktop is the operating system. If we give them information overload they'll 
just leave again. 

I wouldn't actually be averse to having a gnome and a kde box set up side by 
side in case anybody does ask but anybody who knows or cares that there is a 
difference will ask. I don't think we should thrust it on people otherwise.
