Nomachine's NX doesn't need applications or toolkits to be reimplemented to run over it. It works by applying intelligent compression to the X protocol, so any X application can run over it unmodified - this includes KDE, Mozilla, GNOME, whatever.
The KDE integration is only in the kNX client, which takes advantage of KDE technologies such as kwallet, dcop, etc (unlike the 'official' NX client which is pure qt).
impossible to have Linux without proprietary Qt...
that a Linux distribution must include support for proprietary Qt
In effect, they are saying that proprietary Qt is to Linux, as Windows has been to the PC.
etc.
There's a BIG difference between windows and Proprietary QT here, and the difference is that Windows costs money per-user. So to use the windows middleware, your *users* have to pay Microsoft.
However, with Proprietary QT the only cost is per-developer. So to install opera, hancom office, etc, I don't have to pay a penny to Trolltech. Only the companies developing these proprietary apps need to.
For that reason alone, trolltech is not going to fall into the control of trolltech.

Yey, lets take a decent article and insert irelevent buzzwords! aim for another flamefest!
I mean, CHRIST. The article hardly mentions usability at all, yet somehow slashdot manages to put the word into the title.
But hey, this is slashdot. i must be new here. etc.
