Re: KIO quanta leap

KIO is darn cool, and it means you can browse and use services in truly universal way.

Now that I have my network up and running here the LAN manager can seek out machines on the network dynamically and find out what services they provide, albeit in a slightly crude way. Perhaps this could be facilitated better by server support, or perhaps Samba support? Clicking on my wireless access point or my ADSL modem to configure them, without typing any addresses in, is a pretty revolutionary concept. Certainly, the dynamic nature of doing that has been a revelation.

I think what has been mentioned above is harnessing this power in a more usable way, as I think the concept and usage of KIO is hidden away far too much. It really does make you more productive, and I haven't really used it for anything yet! I know now that I am not alone in thinking of all the things this could be used for.

WinFS? VFS? Bah!
