KDE's Windows weapon: KOffice 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| While the industry is distracted by the ongoing tussle between Microsoft and
| OpenOffice.org over document formats, the KDE project is quietly preparing
| the next generation of its own office suite, KOffice, for Linux, Windows, and
| Mac OS X.

Steve Ballmer: "I would love to see all open source innovation happen on top of
Windows"
,----[ Quote ]
| Steve Ballmer apparently likes open source. Well, so long as it drives
| Windows revenue. And doesn't replace any. Ever. In fact, as he said at an
| event in Microsoft last week in London that he hopes to see all open-source
| innovation going to Windows, rather than Linux (more below).

KDE4 Devel Live-CD Review: Work in Progress
,----[ Quote ]
| The LiveCD edition of KDE4 clearly shows that a significant amount
| of work has been dedicated to the project already. There is however
| a lot to be finished before the new version of KDE will shine. I
| think that the stability and quality of the SVN version is not a
| big deal -- all development code is unstable and lacks features.
| KDE4 promises to be a modern and functional environment with a
| huge collection of remarkable apps, well integrated with each
| other, starting with a the office suite, though file management,
| multimedia and even programmer tools. Great achievements,
| however, require time.
