OS X and Windows packages
by Jos on Friday 11/Jan/2008, @03:59

Excellent! This is truly a great moment. KDE4 can run on Mac OS X and Windows, allowing people that cannot yet switch to a free operating system to use it.

So where can I get the windows version of KDE4?

Sorry to disappoint, but the answer's something like 'in about six months to a year', if you're looking for a polished stable release.

In the mean time, there's always http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Installation if you can live with some roughness.

This is going to be so cool....

Let's ween people slowly off Windows!!! First they get used to the desktop, then they switch the "engine" underneath...

Once they get used to the new "body"/"interior", who cares what "engine" runs underneath. If it's faster and more stable, even better. :) Let's face it, how many people these days actually look at the engine of their car??? - My point exactly :D

So let's keep the Windows packages coming and stir up the publicity!!!!

Thank you to all that have been involved!!

just in case there is confusion on this point, the workspace is *not* being ported to windows or mac.
