Impact of strike...

>> Suddenly, KDE will go from being a desktop user system to an integrated business groupware system as well.

Suddenly means when 3.2 comes out or what ;-)

I wonder what will happen if this Kontact/kolab killer duo strikes. It will be soon (but after 3.2 is released) I guess...
Read this and forecast for your self:

They will probably strike hard... I hope big coms/orgs who use this on full scale will contribute money/developers to the team (or team"s": kolab, postfix, openldap, etc.) -- so it might become the apache (vs. IIS) scenario of the furure, *grin*.

And this will only be the first of a serie... Once KDE desktops get used in companies, Qt will gain momentum in general. More commercial software will get built on Qt -- portability will be higher on the priority list.

<silly>
I think adobe should move to Qt! That will rock ;-)
</silly>

Who's hopeing with me?

Adobe already uses Qt for new products, see Photoshop Album.
