KDE 4.2 as update for Fedora 9? Great news thinking on people who have not updated yet. Like me, because the issue with Intel Graphics Driver (Intel GM965).

I believe that KDE is the best shot against Vista. But not against Gnome yet.

Is KDE 4.2 the Answer to the Linux Desktop?

I did. Unfortunately, I'm not able to control how quotes are used
by journalists. Welcome to marketing!
I'd encourage folks to leave additional comments at sites where they
can augment information like this.
I don't read or write in Spanish (which the blog seems to be written
in), but a free translation from the Web on the paragraph about Fedora
indicates:
"In any case, it is expected that very quick [KDE 4.2] be incorporated
to the official sources."
Maybe the people who are already tweeting about this will pick it up
when it's done. Or fedora folks could mention it's coming in their
tweets. This may also help get the word out.
Cheers!

Ok.
There are not official news from Fedora, but KDE 4.2 is available from KDE-Red Hat testing repo for Fedora 10 (not 9). So People should think that will be available comming soon. Personally I would like for Fedora 9 too.

I have been monitoring tweets (through Twitter) with the keyword: fedora.
Something on KDE 4.2 and Fedora came up today. There's a small mention of KDE 4.2 being available shortly in Fedora here:

I have added a comment. It is important to highlight this since Fedora
is probably the one distribution pushing out major updates like this to
even previous releases.

Personally, I prefer KDE over all other desktop environment. The main cause is that KDE offers a close approach to Open source feeling when dealing with the operating system environment. It might be that I did not use Genome as I used the KDE but I Always Install Both Desktops and end up using KDE only. as for me as much far is the DE from MS desktop as far its close to my heart. This is a personal opinion, as a desktop user.
