It is a Linux User Group, which is the main target of KDE AFAIK

Yeps, but polls usually don't include 100% of the users, but a small portion 
of them.

Correct, but that is not the case, people use KDEas they would use 
Enlightenment, or blackbox, which means they use it as a Window manager.

It is not a poll about the use of window managers in the world, it is a poll 
on the use of Windowmanagers among Linux/BSD-users in The Netherlands.

Nedlinux members are mostly studenst/system administrators who do most of 
their work using the command line. (if i give a KDE-solution to a problem on 
nedlinux, this usually leads to a flame...)

The fact that 1 out of two Nedlinuxers uses KDE as graphical environment came 
as a suprice to me. Last time the poll was held, KDE was also number one, but 
closely followed by Gnome and other window managers/desktop environments.

Rinse
