Re: KDE on Windows?
by Diedrich Vorberg on Thursday 17/May/2001, @13:10

II believe it is generally a good idea to make Free Software attractive for daily use for a the largest possible number of people possible. KDE is doing so by making free Unix environments accessible for people whoes computer expriences are largely GUI/Windows based. Porting KDE to Windows is a logical step in that directon,
enabling people to have a gentle transition from the platform they grew up with (and of which they are told, it is the only one in existance) to the better alternative. Also it is a great thing to make Konqueror available on this platform as an alternative browser that
*does* enforce standarts! So I think this is a good thing!

However I believe it is important not to copy Windows on Linux or create an alternative Windows on Windows. There must be no doubt a
completely Free system is the better system!
