I think you are incorrect. KDE going cross-platform opens up a new interface for windows users, making it easier for them to see what Linux (and OSX) can do. It makes any decision about transitioning to another OS a little easier.
It shows MS users that they are not stuck with what Billy has shoved at them.
[I’m getting a new desktop PC next week. It’s coming with XP, and I intend to install Kubuntu 7.04.on part of two hard drives.]
I’ve read the article, but I don’t get the big picture. If, in XP I download this KDE desktop [I like KDE], then what? This is where I’m lost. Would it simply serve as an alternative desktop to XP’s? What else, if anything, would it allow?
