    Nice article

    That was a good article, me thinks.

    It's good, and probably a result of dot.kde.org too, that the press is well informed.

    One question that I have though, is there really going to be no kwin? I am no Windows user, but for my part, I am certain, that the focus stealing prevention, more flexible Window behaviour, etc. would be really worth it. Or is this understood to be only initially the case?

    Best regards,
    Kay

    As far as I know it's not planned to adapt KWin for Windows. I suspect that the reason is that the shell is far more tightly integrated than on *nix and that makes it impractical to replace one of its 'components'.

    I'd want people to have some practical reasons left to move to a Free Software operating system, as well :).
