KDE Goes Cross-Platform, Supports Windows and OS X

klblastone writes "The KDE desktop environment is going cross-platform with support for the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. In addition to porting the core KDE libraries and applications, developers are also porting popular KDE-based software like the Amarok audio player and the KOffice productivity suite. New KDE binaries for Windows were released yesterday and are now available from KDE mirrors through an automated installer program. The Mac OS X port is made available via BitTorrent in universal binary format."

Gah, there is enough bloat in the windows world as it is. Where are the linux equivalents of foobar2000 and utorrent?

Linux wins the desktop!

Re:Vista

How is running something on top of Vista supposed to make Vista faster? I think it's the same principle as how putting stickers, a spoiler, and a giant muffler on your car is supposed to make it faster. Although this apparently only works if you drive a low end Japanese made car, preferably with a four cylinder engine.

Jews?

Why is this article tagged "jews?" Is KDE4 now kosher?
