A Sneak Preview of KDE 4

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pretty-gooey dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In recent times, a lot of discussion has been generated about the state of KDE version 4.0 and as Linux users we are ever inquisitive about what the final user experience is going to be. This article throws light on some of the features that we can look forward to when KDE 4.0 is finally released some time this year. The article indicates that the most exciting fact about KDE 4.0 is going to be that it is developed using the Qt 4.0 library. This is significant because Qt 4.0 is released under a GPL license even for non-Unix platforms. So this clears the ideological path for KDE 4.0 to be ported to Windows and other non-Unix/X11 platforms."

    This may be a design feature, to make it "easier", but, in fact, makes things stupidly difficult.

    Troll or not I think you have just pegged the perfect Gnome slogan:

    "So easy it's stupidly difficult."
