+<para>How is Trinity different from KDE4?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>Both desktop environments share common roots to KDE 3.5.10, the last
+official release of KDE in the 3.x series. Many KDE developers wanted to break
+from that code chain and tool sets to start afresh. Thus was born KDE4. In
+addition to moving to the Qt4 tool set, the KDE developers revamped the
+underlying KDE code set.</para>
+
+<para>KDE4 and Trinity have different philosophies about work flow preferences.
+KDE4 developers want to support emerging work flow concepts and techniques.
+Trinity developers want to maintain a "traditional" desktop environment.</para>
+
+<para>For example, KDE4 offers the following tools:</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Semantic desktop through Nepomuk</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>PIM (Personal Information Management) data caching through Akonadi</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Desktop file searching through Strigi</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Activities, a computer desktop metaphor for managing tasks and activities</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>Whereas TDE offers the following:</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Desktop search through the locate:/ kio-slave and Beagle</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Integrated PIM suite with plugins</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Related task management using multiple desktops</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>The KDE developers support alternate desktop interfaces, such as those used
+with netbooks, tablets, and smart phones. TDE provides a single interface that is
+optimized for the mouse/keyboard HCI (Human-computer interaction) model.</para>
+
+<para>Both desktop environments provide an excellent choice for different work
+flows but differ in approach. Trinity leans toward user expectations of how
+desktop environments have functioned traditionally. There is a sense of
+familiarity with that environment many people like. Similarly other users prefer
+the work flow features offered by KDE4 because those features match their
+expectations of how they want their computer to behave. The difference between the
+two environments does not mean one is smaller, buggier, or slower -- only that
+they are different and appeal to different types of people. Although sharing a
+common heritage, both desktops appeal to different groups of people. As always
+with free/libre software, there is a choice.</para>
