Re: Konqueror Gets Activ(eX)ated

By "any" platform, I believe it was meant that regardless of platform, Konq is the best browser. They did not mean Konq runs on all platforms... I mean, heck, they were comparing Konq against Netscape and even IE. It's not exactly fair playing ground since they all have various levels of portability. But if you could pick one that would work on your platform (defying all laws of portability), they are saying you would want Konqueror.

Also, the majority of KDE users are Linux users. Many times you will see people speak of "Linux is now better" this-or-that because of something KDE-related. No one is forgetting about non-x86 users (at least programmers aren't) so there is nothing to worry about. WINE has always been x86-only. Now Konq can use it for ActiveX on x86 platforms. Could KDE come up with their own ActiveX type thing? Sure, although portability would be difficult (delivery system could send source and compile on target machine?). Does it mean having an x86-only alternative using WINE is a bad thing? I don't think so.

I sort of see your point, but I believe you overreacted a little.
