That was a good article, me thinks.
It's good, and probably a result of dot.kde.org too, that the press is well informed.
One question that I have though, is there really going to be no kwin? I am no Windows user, but for my part, I am certain, that the focus stealing prevention, more flexible Window behaviour, etc. would be really worth it. Or is this understood to be only initially the case?
Best regards,

As far as I know it's not planned to adapt KWin for Windows. I suspect that the reason is that the shell is far more tightly integrated than on *nix and that makes it impractical to replace one of its 'components'.
I'd want people to have some practical reasons left to move to a Free Software operating system, as well :).
