Firstly, it's very cool - I like it very much :-)

That's a good idea, so here are some thoughts for future iterations:

- You concentrate on the software (which is fine) but then you shoud say 'what 
makes KDE software great', not what makes KDE (= the community that makes KDE 
software) great.
- The font, while nice, screams Kubuntu at me (I may be wrong, but I think 
it's the Kubunut/Ubuntu font?) If so, maybe go for something more distro-
agnostic. I think there's a reccommended KDe font, but I can't think what it 
is right now
- It's really great for me to watch as someone who knows the software and the 
features quite well, but I think some more text overlays would be ncie to say 
what's going on, for example:
-- when tiling windows, say something like 'easily tile windows to maximise 
your space' (you can probably think of a better way to say it)
-- when swithcing between activities, again state what is happening (btw, 
that's a really great way to show the activites concept in my opinion)
--maybe give your demo activities more descriptive names, such as 'movies' etc

Thumbs up for using a CC-licenced music track /and/ remembering to put the 
required credits :-)

Overall, it's very very promising, imho. We could use such a thing at our 
booths at exhibitons probably, if we can find a screen or projector to put it 
on a loop - plus the obvious use on YouTube, maybe kde.org etc...

Cheers,
Stu
