I'll go next.

KPager, which enables you to see all your virtual desktops (Windows users
rarely know what this means) and even drag and drop applications, depicted
as rich XPM's, from one desktop to another?

KNode, which unlike another so-called mail/news reader, actually puts the
cursor at the bottom when replying? And incorporates all the feature one
might need? Again, most Windows users will never realise what they miss
until/unless they were given all these features and then had them taken
away, overnight.

AmaroK anyone?

There are so many more, but why feed the new troll? A small taste of
inferiority should be enough.
