Which is your favourite desktop?

Most of the people think that they can not use Unix as desktop.

By this poll we gone tell them that we not just use Unix as desktop but also love different display managers like GNOME, KDE etc.....

I added a few Desktops that arose on older versions of Unix. I will move this thread to the Desktop forum.

Then I will vote for CDE.
