They bought Trolltech, who are behind QT, which KDE uses. KDE is an independent project.

Find one of the 770s, 800s, or 810s... while very old, my 770 is still very useful and functional. And still lasts a long time on a battery charge.

Re:Way More Windows Users Here Than You Think

From the FAQ:

I thought everyone on Slashdot hated the RIAA, the MPAA, and Microsoft. Why do you keep hyping CDs, movies, and Windows games?

Big corporations are what they are. They sell us cool stuff with one hand and tighten the screws on our freedoms with the other. We hate them every morning and love them every afternoon, and vice versa. This is part of living in the modern world: you take your yin with your yang and try to figure out how to do what's right the best you can. If you think it has to be all one way or the other, that's cool, share your opinions, but don't expect everyone else to think the same.

Asus tried it already and it failed.

Failed?
They sold a shitload of them.
