You underestimate the power of buzzwords like "multi-platform". We should not port all of KDE to Windows, that would be stupid. Put porting one or two of the killer applications could create a lot of positive marketing hype.

User: "Wow, this is a cool browser, I like it"
Us: "Like it? We've got a whole desktop just like it! For free!"

Furthermore it would allow more web developers to test their sites with Konqueror/khtml.

Hehe, Sure you can have a nice browser on Windows by 'porting' konqueror. But the strenghts of konqueror lies in the (o.a.) application-embedding (aka kparts). I think you would not do it justice, on Windows.
