That kind of obsession with Windows would harm KDE, if the development community engaged in it.

KDE is no more in competition with Windows than it is with GNOME. Some organizations that package KDE may be, but KDE itself isn't. KDE just ships code. No more, no less.

Sorry, I was kind of kidding about that. I certainly don't really believe Microsoft is going to go down in flames on KDE's part. They've got billions of $ to burn, and if KDE really starts to threaten them, they will just spend their money on making Windows better until it's better than KDE. They could do that for years without selling a single copy of Windows, with the cash hoard they've built up. Heck, they could probably do it on the interest on Bill Gates' personal fortune alone. So Microsoft isn't going down in flames anytime soon (unless the DOJ has a major change of opinion), and it's probably a good thing anyway.
