I use Linux Mint and I love it. I have to boot into Windows for like five minutes every day just to sync my Zune HD, and that’s it. Get me a Zune client, and Windows is toast.

Glad to see you finally see things clearly and switched to Linux Mint. It isn’t that the other distros are bad and not that you can’t put everything in LM in other distros. Linux Mint is just so complete and polished out of the box it is like you would have paid for the OS.
And now a shameless plug for the Linux Mint podcast at http://www.mintcast.org

I have enjoyed the experiment and keep the updates coming.

[...] Trying Mint – I likes what I sees. While my initial plan for January was to stick with Windows 7 and perhaps try out Fedora 12, a bad DVD interrupted the Fedora install progress. Out of sheer convenience, I’d planned on running Linux Mint in a VM and had pulled the ISO earlier in the week. “Aha!” I thought. “I’ll install this instead of Fedora and see what’s what.” [...]

I find that Exaile is a very good music player replacement for RhythmBox…otherwise, am really enjoying Mint since Version 5

KDE is 4.3.2-0ubuntu3, which looks like the latest available in Kubuntu as well.

Is the KDE in the current GNOME version’s repos still the old one from 9.04 or is it up to date?

I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot. The KDE version is still on the Ubuntu 9.04 base, and Sasha mentioned that Mint 8 fixed a lot of his laptop issues, so you may want to get the GNOME disc and try putting on KDE yourself.
