Re: The apps, not the enviroment

This post was so long ago and still very little has happenned :-(

KDE adds a lot to QT and having it availble for application development under windows would be great. Otherwise WXwidgets and GTK are going to lead the way with progressively more support and simpler developer licensing. GTK apps never give the right feel under windows - which gives users an impression of dubious quality. Perhaps people think "is everything this bad under linux - why would you go there?"

If I develop using the best platform choice for linux (KDE) where can my code go right now? Only to linux users. But if KDE is the development platform of choice even under windows we potentially bring many more apps to linux. This has got to be a good thing.

Do not hold back for political reasons! KDE is the platform (not win32 or linux) Get it being used by the largest number of people
