Hai Roderick, It's not about "Xfce's 28 MB of RAM vs 30 MB for KDE Vs 41 MB for GNOME". We run it on Production Servers mainly because at a larger scale, when you have 50+ user using a XWindow over remote display, XFCE is too smooth and saves hell lot of memory... It might not be EyeCandy for common desktop dudes but our Developers love it... »

Hummm, Now here it from an Admin's point of view... What most individuals (desktop dudes) / organizations (mid size) doing today is to use virtual*n on VMware server platform with out bothering about buying ESX/W6.0 with heavy bucks... resulting losses to VMware Inc. So, from VMware Inc's point of view, they had enough with this GSX funda, now drop one by one major features and make people to go for ESX... and force desktop users to go for Workstation 6.0 »
