KDE 4.0 Is Out

Many users wrote to alert us that KDE 4.0 has been released. Here's Computerworld Australia's take on the release KDE 4.0 is based on the Qt4 toolkit, which brings significant enhancements in the way memory is used. "So it ends up making KDE less resource intensive than KDE 3, which is quite an improvement," according to Australian KDE developer Hamish Rodda, who calls the new architecture "future-proof." Computerworld notes that developers are already at work porting the new environment to Windows and the Mac.

    Australian KDE developer Hamish Rodda, who calls the new architecture "future-proof."

    That sounds like a challenge to me.
    Oh, it's on.

    Love,

    The Future.

      Yeah. It sounds like downloading KDE 4 will turn you into Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

      You may talk big, Future, but we all know you're just yesterday's news.

    Maybe you should get work done instead of masturbating with your desktop environment. Other than changing the background image and window color scheme, how much more diddling do you need ?
    Ah, a GNOME user!

    iThink you may be just a bit iPredisposed to think of iLinux apps as having weird iNames.

    Honestly, why is iCrap better than Krap?

    Woop-de-doo...why don't we suffix the name with "Application" just to let everyone know that this program is indeed an application?

    What program isn't an application?

    Or at least, it's generally possible to know it's an Application from context; by knowing what it does. It's generally not possible to know, without the naming scheme, which desktop environment (or graphics library) a given application uses.

    It gdoes make it a bit geasier to Kfigure out gwhich iApps go to Kwhich iDesktop Kenvironment.
