Actually, trying not to flame I do think that RedHat would like KDE to die (or lat least they wouldn't mind if it did). Mainly because then all the KDE developers would move to Gtk+, but also because when Corel/Caldera had to change to GNOME it would be a big indication that RedHat knew what was going on and they didn't.
FreeBSD's SMP support works exactly the same way (Ie. one major lock inside the kernel). Indeed a few FreeBSD developers have stated that this is the only way that Uni processor => Multi processor convertion should be done (Ie. make it work... then make it work more fine grained).

The point is that the money would be in the bank _anyway_. It's just in your bank, or my bank, rather than microsofts bank.
