After much pestering from my brother i installed the KDE desktop on Ubuntu. This can be easily downloaded using synaptic. Just search for Kubuntu desktop. The KDE desktop looks much better and has many features which are really eye candy. The one which i liked the most was the Desktop Cube. You can switch between different desktops by using Ctrl+F11, and what you get is an extremely cool animation where each desktop becomes the side of a cube and you can rotate the cube using the arrorw keys and choose the needed desktop by hitting enter key. This is not enabled by default, but can be enabled easily by using the "system settings" option. You might have to change some mouse settings ( I had to because my mouse single click was opening applications)
For now i like the KDE desktop environment. However, i know i will get bored of it sooner or later. But, it is good to have Vista like or better features free of cost. Worth a try i would say.
