Short answer: the "K Desktop Environment " =  the MS Explorer done right.
Long answer: (quote)

What is KDE?

KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop environment for Unix
workstations.
It was written by a world-wide network of software engineers committed to free
software development. KDE seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for
Unix workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under the MacOS or
Window95/NT. We believe that the Unix operating system is the best operating
system available today. In fact Unix has been the undisputed choice of the
information technology professional for many years.........<snip>

I suppose a good place for more info would be http:www.kde.org
(be sure to look at the themes)
