.................I have been pondering as of late about KDE being able to run on the M$ Kernel. What are the benefits of this upcoming capability? What exactly does it mean to the KDE FOSS community? What changes in the KDE community are going to take place as a result? What
*pclessgeek.wordpress.com/2006/11/23/kdem0/#commentsIn the end the KDE FOSS community will get the shaft and struggle to make sure their GPL’d code is kept out of the proprietary programs. Now that is the real change that the KDE FOSS community may be facing with this port to the M$ Kernel. Not an influx of willing contributors! You can expect the push to remove the apps to come to a boiling point in the near future. For the time being Trolltech probably will turn up the heat just enough to make everyone cozy and comfortable with the idea. Just wait until there is a gental proposal from one of many to change the name of KDE to something more “marketable.”
KDE is going the same way as Novell does with M$.KDE's FLOSS developers/contributers,watch ur future with other DE rather than with QT.
