KDE Sets Roadmap for Development
,----[ Quote ]
| Seigo also said the KDE team will not leave its 3.5 users in the lurch,
| delivering an upgrade to that release, known as KDE 3.5.9, in February.
|
| "We haven't forgotten about [KDE] 3.5, because we have a lot of users with
| large installations and they don't change their installations very often," he
| said. "[KDE 3.5.9] will come with an enterprise version of Kontact," the KDE
| PIM (personal information manager).
|
| The KDE team will continue to support KDE 3.5 because the move to KDE 4.0 is
| a big jump for organizations that prefer to migrate slowly, KDE officials
| said. KDE 4.1 is expected to ship in July.

Goodbye Vista, KDE 4.0 Has Arrived!
,----[ Quote ]
| There are only few people who know that if you look out of your 'Windows',
| the world is much more vivid and beautiful. Apple is known for its good
| looks, but it’s excessively expensive, while Vista is a big disappointment
| (check Tech Cold War 2007!). Now, there is GNU/Linux which, in fact, is free
| and offers much more options and freedom than Windows or Mac. One of the most
| popular desktop environments on GNU/Linux platform has come out in a new
| flavour - KDE 4.0.
